Challenge

The current policy framework in Serbia lacks regulations for nature-based solutions and pollination ecosystem services. Intervention is crucial to improve the policy framework for the protection of pollinators and their habitats, particularly within protected areas (PAs).

Objective

Our project aims to conserve the diversity of pollinators and their natural habitats within the Green Belt in Serbia area by providing policy recommendations on how we to protect them.

Approach

To enhance the policy framework, we will engage experts, conduct desk and field research, analyze the results, and prepare a comprehensive report with actionable recommendations for pollinator conservation in PAs. Additionally, we will launch a public campaign to promote these recommendations. This includes creating user-friendly designs, organizing advocacy meetings with decision-makers and stakeholders, and running a social media campaign.

Expected Results

At the end of our project, we will have: 

• Conducted desk and field research on pollinator diversity in selected Serbian protected areas.
• Identified primary threats and challenges to the conservation of pollination services.
• Prepared evidence-based recommendations for pollinator and habitat conservation.
• Presented recommendations to relevant local and national decision-makers and stakeholders.
• Conducted a public campaign on the conservation of pollination services.
