Goal

The MED Community for the protection of biodiversity relies on the efforts of PANACeA during the period 2016-2019:

  • assisting and ensuring synergies between the community of thematic projects of Biodiversity protection
  • act as a science-policy interface (ISP) to foster the exchange of experiences and the sharing of knowledge to influence behavior and policy change.

To achieve its objectives, the Community ensures the orientation of two types of processes for adoption by regional policies in order to help them achieve their objectives by 2020 and prioritize their political aspirations beyond 2020 through:

  • a protected areas network, implemented and well managed
  • working beyond MPAs with an ecosystem approach to address major types of pollution and climate change effects

The Interreg Mediterranean Biodiversity Protection community is structured under three main topics and working groups with the support of BPC partners, as seen below. To get involved in the activities please do not hesitate to contact the partner leading the group or contact [email protected]:
