agriculture - Reverse, European Project to Preserve Biodiversity

MORE ABOUT REVERSE PROJECT
The Reverse project is based on sharing experience among 14 European partners who are aware of the major challenges linking biodiversity
and economic development. More specifically, it focuses on opportunities and insufficiencies in biodiversity conservation policies in three
sectors: Agriculture and food production, Land planning, and Tourism.
Reverse is a three-year European interregional cooperation project (January 2010 - December 2012). Lead by the Aquitaine Region, it
involves seven European countries: Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Slovakia and Spain. It is co-financed by the European Regional
Development Fund (ERDF) and made possible by the INTERREG IVC programme. As part of the European Territorial Cooperation Objective,
the INTERREG IVC Programme (2007-2013) is an EU programme that helps regions of Europe work together to share their knowledge
and experience.
Reverse partners comprise regional authorities, public establishments, associations, research institutes and universities, which contribute
to the conservation and development of wild and cultivated biodiversity. They work on various complementary subjects such as the
conservation of species in situ, gene banks, the management of natural areas, region-wide strategies for the conservation of biodiversity,
ecological corridors, local legislation for the protection of biodiversity, education, etc.
