Nature Conservation Programme
Switzerland supports North Macedonia in sustainable management of natural resources through practical application of conservation measures in the Bregalnica region. In the exit phase, institutions and organizations will be further strengthened for an effective management of protected areas, introduction of payments for ecosystem services and implementation of measures set out in the national strategies. By promoting sustainably produced products and services, economic benefit for the local population will be generated.

| Contesto | North Macedonia is widely recognized as the European “Biodiversity Hotspot”. The country's outstanding natural capital is however under pressure due to human impact. While the legal and regulatory framework are largely harmonized with the EU Environmental acquis and progress has been made in the enlargement and management of protected areas, institutions at central and local level still struggle with the practical implementation of innovative approaches for integrated management and sustainable use of natural resources The extraordinary biodiversity richness of the Bregalnica region shall be conserved and protected, ensuring at the same time economic benefits for the local population. With the newly proclamated protected area in that region, the protected territory at national level increased from 9% to 11%. |
