The conference brought together over 80 participants from more than 60 organizations representing nearly all countries along the European Green Belt. The event provided a dynamic platform for the exchange of experiences, knowledge sharing, and the development of new forms of cross-border cooperation through presentations, working groups, field visits, and informal networking.

For TEAM, participation in this high-level gathering was an exceptional opportunity to connect with colleagues from across Europe working in the fields of nature conservation, sustainable development, and environmental protection. Through active engagement in working sessions and discussions, TEAM gained valuable insights into innovative biodiversity conservation practices, financing mechanisms for environmental projects, and best practices in engaging local communities in nature protection efforts.

In addition, TEAM established important contacts with organizations from various countries, creating strong foundations for future international cooperation, joint project development, and the adaptation of successful conservation models to the local and regional context.

Participation in this conference significantly strengthened the association’s capacity to take on a more active role in international environmental initiatives and decision-making processes. It also enhanced TEAM’s ability to integrate newly acquired knowledge into ongoing and future activities, contributing to the effective protection and sustainable management of natural resources at the local and regional level.
