The manifestation „Youth activism in the sustainable management and biodiversity conservation in the ABDA Region of Drina-Sava“, organized by the NGO “Eko Leonardo” and the partner NGO “Ruralni centar Sova”, resulted with implementation of two conferences and six organized workshops with students of elementary schools in Lopare (B&H) and Sremska Mirtrovica (Serbia).

This series of regional conferences and workshops contributed to the strengthening of the networking and regional cooperation among members of the stakeholder group from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, as well to defined joint actions and measures for protecting biodiversity.

As result of the activities, a joint project proposal was defined and a memorandum for cooperation was signed.

This activity is part of the European Union funded project: “Fostering regional cooperation and balanced territorial development of Western Balkan countries in the process towards EU integration” implemented by the Regional Rural Development Standing Working Group (SWG) in South-Eastern Europe.
