The meeting was moderated by Slovak partners from the PRONATUR NGO and the State Nature Conservancy of the Slovak republic. At the beginning of the meeting the Lead Partner of the project - EURAC research presented the project Centralparks to experts. The leaders of the TTTF3 Carpathian Ecosystem Services Toolkit informed the international experts on content of the work package and expected activities.
In upcoming weeks experts will commonly work on two documents - State of the Art/Gap Analysis and Roadmap of the involvement of expert stakeholders. The first document will provide the analysis on current situation of the ecosystem services in the Carpathian countries and the latter one will provide a supportive guidance for involvement of stakeholders in the project and in the ecosystem services issues.
