Interactive Conservation Platform for Orchids Native to Greece-Turkey
A 15-month project that was implemented as part of the “Civil Society Dialogue between EU and Turkey – IV Environment Grant Scheme (CSD-IV/ENV)”. Its goal was to inform civil society in Turkey, including relevant local and regional authorities, about flora conservation, focusing on terrestrial orchids. Its actions included the creation of an interactive digital platform and database about all species of wild orchids (approximately 400) shared between Greece and Turkey, creation of educational material, a documentary, an international conference, etc. Other partners were the German NGO Sails-for-Science (coordinating beneficiary), and the Turkish NGO Association for the Conservation of Antalya Orchids and Biodiversity.
