Improved financial sustainability and management effectiveness of protected forest and wetland biotopes harboring globally important biodiversity

Biodiversity:
Funding gap for management of targeted globally significant PAs -- Nalibokski, Sporovsky, Zvanets, Mid-Pripyat (Pogost meadow), Turov Lug, and Olmany MiresClimate Change Mitigation:
Area under low GHG management practices with monitoring of low GHG impact undertakenLand Degradation:
Application of INRM practices in wider landscapes Protected area management effectiveness score -- METT applied at Nalibokski, Sporovsky, Zvanets, Mid-Pripyat (Pogost meadow), Turov Lug, Olmany Mires, Dikoe and Servech
Sustainable Forest Management:
