In September 2023, the service Development of management plans for Natura 2000 and protected areas – Group 5<\/a> was successfully completed. Sunce implemented the service together with Biom Association and SAFEGE d.o.o. for the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development, and in line with needs of competent public institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are proud to say that Sunce coordinated the development of 8 management plans <\/a>covering 23 protected areas and 70 Natura 2000 areas in \u0160ibenik-Knin, Split-Dalmatia and Dubrovnik-Neretva counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunce organized 75 workshops in total<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Along with the employees of competent public institutions, the stakeholders<\/a> were also included in the structured process of management plans development. During the past 4 years, Sunce organized a total of 75 workshops out of which 36 were internal workshops with public institution\u2019s employees and 39 were workshops for stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the participatory planning process, stakeholders contributed to the evaluation of the state of individual protected areas and Natura 2000 areas, setting goals, developing activities, and zoning of areas within management plans. The organization of\u00a0 workshops was specially challenging\u00a0 as due to the deadlines, most of them had to be organized\u00a0 during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interested public had the opportunity to participate in management plans adoption through public debates that were published on the websites of competent public institutions and during public presentations held in Ston, \u0160ibenik, Hvar, Gove\u0111ari, \u010cilipi, Orebi\u0107 and Kor\u010dula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the summer of 2023, the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development issued the consent for all 8 management plans which were then adopted by the management councils of the competent public institutions and entered into force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The documents were developed with the aim of preserving valuable areas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The final versions of the adopted management plans can be downloaded from the website<\/a> of the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development, and will also be published on the websites of relevant public institutions (only in Croatian):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
