Forests Beyond Borders
“Forest Beyond Borders” is a 2.5-year initiative dedicated to assessing the state of primary and old-growth forests (PF/OGF) across the Western Balkans. The project focuses on developing a harmonized identification method and tool to map these critical forests, conducting a legal analysis of their protection, and implementing measures to ensure their conservation where necessary.
Spanning Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia, the project aims to establish a standardized approach to identifying and safeguarding primary and old-growth forests across all participating countries.
Goals:
Support the identification of primary and old-growth forests (PF/OGF) using remote sensing techniques.
Conduct ground-truthing for the identification and verification of PF/OGF.
Analyzing the legal framework and conducting investigations related to forest protection.
Strengthen public outreach and aid in the creation of a forest protection network.
