A working meeting was held in Istanbul, Turkey, within the framework of the ongoing Co-NatureGuard project, funded under the EU Interreg NEXT Black Sea Basin Programme.
During the meeting, project partners discussed the main objectives, implementation stages, and upcoming activities of the project. Special emphasis was placed on analyzing existing forest fire monitoring and management practices, strengthening coordination mechanisms among partners, and sharing experience.
The project entails the integration of modern technologies for protected areas, including the procurement of 14 thermal drones for seven target protected areas, as well as the development of fire management plans for six protected areas: Tusheti, Pshav-Khevsureti, Vashlovani, Kolkheti, Algeti, and Chachuna Protected Areas.
Within the scope of the Co-NatureGuard project, various training sessions, workshops, and conferences are also planned, which will contribute to enhancing capabilities in forest fire prevention and management across protected areas.
