Peace park gain ground Following the opening of the Balkans Peace Park Project’s (BPPP) Information Centre in Shkodra, Albania and a grant received last fall, BPPP has developed a relationship with Fractal, a Serbian NGO. New links have also been forged with a number of potential project partners, such as Green Home (Montenegro), Plav Forum (Montenegro), and the Centre for the Protection of Birds (Montenegro). In association with United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), BPPP has also initiated a programme of workshops, desk and field assessments and conferences in the region to examine issues related to the development of the Peace Park, other trans-boundary protected areas and more general conservation issues. The BPPP has also become a member of the World Conservation Union’s (IUCN’s) Trans-boundary Protected Areas e-forum.
