Management body
The Network of Nature Reserves is based on a management with different sort of skills organically divided into various institutions. The main aim is to ensure a dynamic and interactive model that engages different actors and the local community to participate into the early decision-making process of the territory's management. The Network does not create new managerial institutions, but aims to find a new way to manage the already existing protected areas of the territory. Therefore the Network is not a new protected area that adds constraints into its territory, but it is an ecological area identified on the basis of its existing ecological networks in the natural ecosystems.
The body members of the Network of Reserves are:
- Council of the Network
- President of the Network
- Think tank of the Network
- Local participatory Forum
- Coordinator of the Network
All members remain in office for the whole length of the institutional Program Agreement of the Network of Reserves.
