The project Supporting better management of Delta Bojana in Montenegro aims to support the sustainable management of the Delta Bojana area, which is one of the Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA), through integrated approaches for the conservation of endangered freshwater species.
The project refers to the monitoring of infrastructure projects that threaten to endanger the freshwater biodiversity of the KBA Delta Bojana area, so the project will point out the existing threats to this ecosystem.

Delta Bojana is an IBA (Important Bird Area), IPA (Important Plant Area) and represents an important ichthyological habitat, connects the Skadar Lake and the Adriatic Sea and represents an important migration route and is the most significant natural or semi-natural wetland in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Through the implementation of this project:

• We will create two case studies based on monitoring the activities of relevant authorities and information on the potential impact of planned projects in this area.
• We will train students, volunteers, local population for the purpose of activism in the KBA area of ​​Delta Bojana.
• We will carry out an educational campaign with which we will make the general public aware of the importance of the biodiversity of this area.
• A camp will be organized for students and volunteers on the topic of Biodiversity of Delta Bojana with a focus on education about species and habitats in the area. The camp will gather 20 students, volunteers, locals who will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge and get involved in civic activism.
• We will also prepare educational video material, a brochure on characteristic species and materials with the aim of raising awareness of the importance of this area.

We are implementing the project with the support of the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF).
The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) is a joint initiative of the French Development Agency, Conservation International, the European Union, the Global Environment Facility, the Government of Japan and the World Bank. Additional financial resources were provided by the MAVA Foundation, the Audemars-Watkins Foundation and the Donor Initiative for Mediterranean Freshwater Ecosystems (DIMFE). The main goal is to ensure the involvement of civil society in the preservation of biodiversity.
