Approximation of Lithuanian capacity, policies and procedures on nature protection to EU requirements

The project supported the alignment of national legislation, habitat classification and data handling in order to comply with EU nature conservation requirements, and supported Lithuania in the negotiations with the EU.

Furthermore, the project produced a preliminary list of Natura 2000 sites in Lithuania, and delivered a number of outputs related to public awareness raising, e.g. handbooks and leaflets, seminars, a Lithuanian natura 2000 web site, press coverage and a TV programme series.

The project was supported by the Danish Ministry of Environment and implemented by a joint venture between NEPCon and Ornis Consult Ltd. Project implementation period: 1999-2001 .
