Developing management plans for protected biodiversity sites

Encourage co-operation between the authorities responsible for administration of protected sites to; draw up joint management plans covering every part of protected site(s); pursue regular co-operation between protected sites on all levels (technical, administrative and scientific); establish, as far as possible, a common framework for transfrontier or inter-territorial co-operation setting down minimum administration and management standards, and the legal framework applicable to the site(s) concerned; and ensure that the people and the local and regional authorities be closely involved in conservation actions.
