Welcome to the website of ForestLife project

The project LIFE ForestLife is a joint effort between the Directorate General of Forests and Forest Environment of the Greek Ministry of Environment and Energy and The Goulandris Natural History Museum – Greek Biotope Wetland Centre (ΕΚΒΥ). It aims to enhance dissemination and exchange of knowledge, information and best practices and to foster cooperation between all parties involved in the management of forest ecosystems in Natura 2000 sites in Greece.

To achieve its objectives, the project will develop an online Collaboration Platform for Forests (CPF) of the Natura 2000 sites of Greece, it will publish guidelines and will train the personnel of the Greek Forest Service and other organisations that work on forest conservation and management. It will also develop an application for smart mobile devices and will deploy several communication and public awareness actions.

LIFE ForestLife project is carried out with the cooperation of the:

  • Greek Biotope/Wetland Centre (ΕΚΒΥ)
  • the Directorate General for the Development and Protection of Forests
  • the Rural Environment (DGDPFRE) of the Greek Ministry of the Environment and Energy

ForestLife project comes as a response to the lag of the Greek forest community to disseminate, assess. And adopt new knowledge and experience on forest management issues and threats to the Greek forests related to the conservation of forest habitat types.

This lag was one of the main findings during the New Biogeographical Process (Natura 2000 Seminars Process).

Furthermore, during this process the same lags were identified for forest governance, funding, training etc.

The project will develop tools for the dissemination of:

  • knowledge
  • cooperation
  • interaction between the members of the Greek Forest community

It will also increase the knowledge of the members of the forest community on critical issues for the conservation of the forest habitat types and will make more familiar the use of modern tools used for these purposes.

At the same time, the project will contribute to the improvement of visitor management in Greek forests. This will be achieved through the development of means allowing forest managers to properly and on time provide the visitors with useful information. Such as where and what they can see and do, but also what they should avoid for the protection of nature and their own safety.
