This project protects ecosystem biodiversity in three representative ecosystems (zones containing alpine meadows, lowland forests and wetlands), and supports the activity of three transnational biodiversity protection networks. It also introduces user fees and related charges for visitors and concessions in order to manage the areas in a financially sustainable manner and within their carrying capacity.
