PP13 The Central-BiC project’s Hun – The Hajdú Press website made information about the project available to a wider audience.

Central Europe is threatened by a drastic decline in biodiversity caused by unsustainable management of ecosystems. Many rural communities lack the effective professional assistance and support needed to transform their ecosystems. This gap is addressed by the Central-BIC project, in which partners are developing new tools and methods for the sustainable management of ecosystems.

The project directly involves producers and consumers in testing solutions tailored to three supply chains: livestock farming, agriculture, and integrated tourism. Activities include the creation of a network of biodiversity communities that offers feasible and effective best practices for habitat protection.

Twelve partners from ten regions in eight countries are participating in the INTERREG international project, including the University of Debrecen, the Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences and the Faculty of Economics. On behalf of the University, the professional work is coordinated by Dr. Andrea Bauerné Gáthy, with Dr. Szilvia Veres, Dr. László Stündl, and Dr. István Szűcs as additional leading experts, targeting the Hortobágy National Park.
