Dear David,
the Association Landeres is interested in taking part in your project proposal.
Our organization is specialized in landscape planning, regulation, design, implementation and management, through an innovative methodology aiming at environmental quality and accounting.
In 2014 the Landeres Protocol was used as a frame of reference by UNI (Italian national Standards Organization, member of ISO) for the development of the new: “Guidelines for the sustainable development of green spaces” UNI/PdR8:2014.
Our approach has matched the interest of tens of Italian municipal administrations so that they have been upgrading their landscape planning tools in compliance with the Landeres Protocol, in order to achieve environmental, economic and social quality objectives.

Please reply to this email whether you find our application as suitable.

Dear David,
          I am the director of the Authority for Parks and Biodiversity of Romagna (eastern part of Emilia-Romagna Region, Northern Italy). We manage one natural park, three natural reserves, one protected landscape, 12 SCI and 4 SPA, about 500 hectares of public forests.

We are very interested in your project idea about Mediterranean forest conservation and enhancement of Woods for outdoor use and about the role of payment for ecosystem services.
We manage a very interesting Mediterranean area in the Northern Apennine and also the “Mediterranean Observatory of Biodiversity in Natural Parks” is a very interesting goal.
So, I am asking if you are still looking for partners from Italy.

We have a good experience with EU co-financed projects:
LIFE+ NAT/IT/00369 “Gypsum” for the conservation of karst habitat, rock habitats and their species in gypsum outcrops;
Programme Italy-Slovenia 2007-2013 “Sigma 2” for sustainable agriculture (vineyards and olive orchards);
Programme Italy-Slovenia 2007-2013 “Climaparks” for evaluation of climate change consequence on nature conservation and sustainable tourism development.

The staff is experienced in managing and participating to international cooperation projects (LIFE, IPA, ITA-SLO, South East, Central Europe), because both me and the responsible of communication were employed of the Province of Ravenna, the first (working as manager of the Protected Areas Office) collaborating, the second working directly in the staff of the European Policy Department, with good experience in cooperation project leading.

I also was the technical leader of the South East Europe project “BeNatur” (2010-2013) and I also worked on other three LIFE projects, Interreg II C “WETLANDS-Integrated management of wetlands” (1998-2000), IPA Adriatic “NAP-Network of Adriatic Parks” (2007-2009).

Thank you very much for your attention.

Best regards,
             Max Costa

Hello

I’m an agricultural economist of the Algarve University, in Portugal. I’m really interested in this project proposal. The economic value of ecosystems services is an area I’m particularly interested in. If you are interested in a portuguese partner, please send me some more information about the project.
