The goal of this project is to contribute to the strengthening of civil society organizations, activists and individuals who are active in the areas of Accursed Mountains and Komovi in the field of forest protection. Through this project, we aim to improve forest management in the area of ​​Accursed Mountains National Park and Komovi Nature Park, through the recognition of key problems and the strengthening of civil society organizations for their active participation in decision-making processes, which will contribute to a better status of protected areas and the integration of Montenegro into the EU.

The activities include monitoring and analysis of the implementation of public policies in the field of forest management with the creation of a set of recommendations for decision makers. As part of the project, we will organize trainings for civil society organizations based on their needs in this area, and a thematic conference will also be organized. The project also includes the organization of a photo exhibition and the preparation of video material through which we will present the values ​​of the forests of Accursed Mountains and Komovi, as well as the problems of these areas.

The project, Strong civil society for the preserved forests of Accursed Mountains and Komovi, is supported through the program “CSOs in Montenegro – from basic services to policy making – M’BASE” implemented by the Center for Civic Education (CGO), Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES ), the Center for the Protection and Study of Birds of Montenegro (CZIP) and the Politikon network.
The project is financed by the European Union and co-financed by the Ministry of Public Administration.
