The Project has four overarching objectives:

• Conservation and restoration of deteriorated forest habitats with European importance (part of the Natura 2000 network in Bulgaria);
• Conservation of the genetic fund for rare and protected species with European importance;
• Raise awareness of the local and general public on Natura 2000 and the need to adapt forest management to climate change;
• Provide and exchange information on sustainable restoration methods and conservation management issues in the ecosystems concerned.
