Governmental decisions around the world guide and regulate the actions of individuals and businesses. We work closely with public authorities and ministries, especially those responsible for protected areas, forest, water management, fishing and aquaculture, but increasingly also with others, e.g. those responsible for transport, tourism, energy, agriculture and rural development
Playing a “watchdog” role remains important but we also seek for opportunities to facilitate and support legislative initiatives and processes that could contribute to preserving biodiversity and finding solutions for sustainable development.
● Important regional networks include the Carpathian Network of Protected Areas and the DanubeParks network.
● Intergovernmental organizations and bodies bring together governments as well as other stakeholders in the region on priority issues for WWF. Among these are the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR), which brings together 15 Danube countries and the European Commission, the Secretariat and 7 member states of the Carpathian Convention as well as the EU Strategy for the Danube Region.
● The European Commission is particularly important since it leads on the development and implementation of EU policies and legislation that are of key importance to our region, including regarding biodiversity, water and forests, regional development, transportation as well as EU funding programmes.
