Description

Description (EN):

The project aims mainly at promoting the area’s natural resources towards the development of eco-tourism, improving at the same time the condition for sustainability and the protection of wildlife and habitats. The enhancement of the environmental conscience and awareness of local people and visitors is crucial for the attainment of this main goal. The attraction of visitors is promoted, through a publicity campaign focusing on the distinctive local environment and the establishment of ecotouristic facilities, crucial for the economic development of the area to a sustainable direction, using innovative approaches. The main activities and outputs of the project envisage: i) the construction of an observatory, ii) a center of temporary living and release of birds and iii) a shelter for the wild horses of Axios delta at the Municipality of Delta iv) The establishment of an electronic observatory system for the visitors at Municipalities of Chalkidona and Nestos and v) an adventure park at Gotse Delchev that will improve the ecotouristic potential of the areas, through innovative approaches. The construction of the proposed facilities and infrastructures is expected to contribute to the gradual weakening of the threats for the protected areas and the restoration of ecosystems and populations of endangered species.
