Expert Panel:

Collectively Owned Conservation Areas. A tool for local development

This approach not only promotes biodiversity conservation, but also ensures that local communities benefit directly from ecosystem services, fostering a symbiotic relationship between people and nature.
This panel will cover the view of different public and private actors who have an active participation in the work of territorial conservation.
