DaRe to Connect

Project description:

With the European Green Belt, an extraordinary ecological network and living memorial landscape has been developed along the former Iron Curtain. It forms a backbone of the Pan-European ecological network and can provide a significant contribution to EU Green Infrastructure (GI) and TEN-G. However, the Green Belt still suffers from a certain level of not sufficiently connected habitats and valuable landscapes.
