The Project LIFE14 GIE/GR/000024 ”LIFE Natura Themis” was co-financed by the European Union Life Financial Instrument. The HSPN was a partner in this 5-year LIFE+ project, aiming to establish that environmental crime and damage to biodiversity are specific criminal acts, liable to prosecution and punishment, especially in Natura 2000 sites, according to the Environmental Liability Directive. This was achieved by providing information on relevant EU acquis to the legal and judicial authorities, regional and local administration, as well as the general public and stakeholders in Crete. Other partners were the University of Crete (coordinating beneficiary), the Chania and Herakleion Bars and the Ministry for the Environment and Energy.
