The project LIFE ForestLife (LIFE14 GIE/GR/000304), “Building cooperation, developing skills and sharing knowledge for Natura 2000 forests in Greece” is implemented by the Goulandris Natural History Museum / Greek Biotope - Wetland Centre (MGFI-EKBY) in cooperation with the General Directorate for the Development and Protection of Forests and Agro-environment / Ministry of Environment and Energy.
ForestLife aims to strength cooperation, support the exchange of best practice and the development of skills of state and non-state forest managers and other personnel working in forests within Natura 2000 sites in Greece, improve access of forest visitors and other users of the forest to information and motivate them to visit and protect the forests, especially those in Natura 2000 sites and to disseminate to the public the benefits of forest conservation.
To achieve all these ForestLife will develop and put into operation an online “Collaboration Platform for Forests”, will organise training and dissemination actions and will develop an application for mobile devices for the Greek forests, emphasising those in Natura 2000 sites, which will provide information to the visitors of the forests
