LIST OF ACTIONS

A.1   Directory

As a preparatory action, potential target audience (protected area managers, forest managers and other public officers and employees) and stakeholders (rangers, forest owners, NGOs, private companies involved in conservation, academy) have been identified and included in a database, with more than 1.900 entries.
This audience receives all project information through a mailing list: advances, news, technical reports, results, etc.  If you want to be part of it, please, write to redbosques@fungobe.org.

B.1   Technical discussion forum

Target audience has been invited to join the project’s working group, where draft documents are discussed, best practices and case studies are identified, and technical discussions regarding conservation and adaptation management are held, between others. To this end, a RedIris-CSIC mailing list has been set as an online technical discussion forum.

In July 2017, the working group comprises 95 professionals belonging both national and regional administration (14 out of 17 regions and some provinces with forest and protected areas management responsibilities) and other public officers and employees.

If you are a protected area manager or a forest manager and you work for the public administration, you can participate in the working group and in the technical discussion forum. To this end you can write to redbosques@fungobe.org

B.2   Exchange programme for protected area managers and rangers

In 2017 and 2018 three exchange calls will go out, aimed to protected areas professionals (both specialists and rangers). The main goal of these exchanges is to visit different demonstrative management actions.

B.6   Demonstrative actions in Habitats of European Interest in Natura 2000

Forest management demonstrative actions with conservation and climate change adaptation goals will be executed in Els Ports Natural Park (starting in 2017). These actions will be developed in three different forests and are aimed to develop forest planning with conservation goals and to execute different habitat improvements.
