The photo contests in the nine countries bordering the Balkan Green Belt are part of a project supported by Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (German Federal Environmental Foundation) aimed at protecting this valuable European natural and cultural heritage. In particular, the project contributes to raising the population’s awareness of this unique habitat network and to reaching high levels of acceptance for conservation measures. The photo competitions in Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, and Turkey are part of the project’s extensive set of measures.
