The objective of Phase II is to have the Vjosa WRNP operationalised by early 2024 by establishing the Management structures, funding mechanisms, developing an Integrated Management Plan and a Tourism Master Plan, extending the boundaries and protecting the upper Aoos catchment in Greece, with the aim to create a transboundary Wild River National Park along the full length of the Aoos-Vjosa River basin, including all free-flowing tributaries, sources and delta area.
The next steps for the National Park in 2023 are:
1. Protected area governance, management, finance, operational set-up and capacity building
2. Planning - operational Integrated Management Plan, Tourism Master plan, sustainable community development, boundaries and zonation
3. Initiation projects - Visitor centre, sustainable tourism itineraries, restoration, conservation and regeneration
Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ will support the implementation of the above components, execute project activities and ensure that studies and plans are prepared in accordance with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ international conservation standards and best practices, including the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ Green List and the Protected Area Management Category II.
