We work in partnership to safeguard species and build healthy protected area systems as a foundation for nature and human wellbeing across Eastern Europe and Central Asia. We aim to build capacity and enable species conservation, good governance, and effective management of protected areas across the region. Our approach is to generate, integrate, and disseminate knowledge on the most appropriate responses to emerging conservation challenges, build individual and institutional capacity to plan and manage biodiversity in the most effective ways.
IUCN ECARO helps improve policies, legal and institutional frameworks, and mobilise resources for species conservation and protected area management.
