Awareness campaigns for an Italian-Maltese harmonization for a good state of the environment
The SenHAR project aims to transfer the results obtained with the HARMONY project (financed within the previous program notice) and make them functional, making them know to specific target groups. This goal will be realized through awareness campaigns and promotion of the issues related to Natura 2000 sites (N2K) of the cross-border area subject to the monitoring of HARMONY project (Cape Gallo Isola delle Femmine and Fondali Isola di Capo Passero in Sicily, fil-Bahar fil-Grigal ta' in Malta). SenHAR will make it possible to create awareness of the importance of biodiversity in everyday life thanks to the consciousness of the population and this in order to ensure its effective protection. The SenHAR awareness campaign will transfer to final users an easy and technical-free science of biodiversity conservation and management, drawing attention using ITC tools and creative ideas, in order to generate consideration on problems and encourage action and the desire to change those habits that threaten biodiversity. The overall objective of SenHAR is to raise awareness among the final users about: the importance of halting the loss of marine biodiversity in protected areas(N2K) in the cross-border area, the dynamics governing the integrity of the marine ecosystems to be protected and the threats to be faced in order to preserve natural heritage and biodiversity for future generations. The SenHAR awareness campaign will allow to act quickly, know the consequences, create awareness, and generate a feeling of transnational belonging.
