Example 2:Placement of webcams in the area: Educ.: special (in)sight(s) in the ecology
of the area + sense of beauty
Ecol.: protection of vulnarable areas+ more awareness/wonder brings
more supportEcon: as an eye catcher good opportunity
for promotion of the (products of the) area
Example 1: Ecological improvements for ponds take also fishfarming (economy) into account
through a good positioning and management of the reed beds (more
efficient harvesting of the fish and less (reed)management for fishfarmer). This
requires sufficient knowledge and communication!

The 5 main goals of the project:
1. Ecological improvements: Bittern, tree frog, heath land,…
2. Close collaboration with the private landowners & all other stakeholders in the area
3. ‘Triple E’ approach = to assure a sustainable development through a stronger go together of Economy, Ecology and Education
4. To raise the public awareness of Natura2000
5. To demonstrate a best practice (at EU level) about the participation of private landowners in managing Natura2000 area’s
… for a total budget of € 2.700.000 (50% EU co-fin.)
