Nature conservation goes online
A likeable brown bear guides users through the deep funding jungle: Which financing options are available for nature conservation projects within Natura 2000, the European network of nature reserves? How are the funds put into practice in each EU-member state? What do applicants have to pay attention to?
The interactive application “Financing Natura 2000” presents information in a clear, detailed, unusually simple and entertaining way. Following a set of specific questions on a project idea, the user receives a personalized document that can easily be downloaded with a list of all available funds. At the same time new approaches to the funding process are introduced.
Peter Torkler, WWF-Project Manager: “In the last year we have developed the concept for a visionary funding tool together with Moccu. We presented the IT-Tool in 27 EU-countries – with downright positive feedback. In order to start the project EU-wide, we are currently working on the regional implementation.”
