tives (ii), (iii) and (v) and to voice their interests pertaining to these objectives. There will be
an intense and fruitful communication between the JMC and the IMP. JMC will provide the
panel with the vital information on the opportunities for both sensitive and sensible utilisation
of the World Natural Heritage label as well as the goals and criteria to be met. The IMP will
probably be active mainly in the fields of forestry, public relations and lobbying, ecotourism
(transportation, services), for which it will set up dedicated working groups. Together, they
will closely cooperate in all areas, in particular in the territorial planning aimed at the extension
of corridors connecting the serial nomination properties and their sensible and differentiated
utilisation.
The IMPs are organised nationally, more or less one for each component part. In Germany,
they will be congruent with the existing advisory councils of the component parts (“Nationalparkbeirat
/ Förderverein des Biosphärenreservates”). If the IMPs want to meet bi- or trilateral,
they will announce this to the JMC.
