Description
At present, the problem with preparing forest policy documents of national and regional importance is that civil society does not have sufficient knowledge to be involved in these processes and to represent ecological and social interests. Through this project, we aim to strengthen the capacity of civil society to participate in public policy and to bring together a network of communities, NGOs and experts on forest issues. In response to the potential long-term damage to the ecological condition of forests and its social benefits, we aim to use more effective publicity, legal advice, etc. measures to enable the interested society to fully participate in the forest policy-making processes and to submit proposals for the amendment of laws. The mobilization and involvement of stakeholders in the forest policy-making process would have a positive impact on the long-term ecological and social strategy of forest policy, making it more likely to ensure nature protection and social interest in main national and regional forest planning documents.
