Nature Benefits
Nature Benefits: From Theory to Practice (TUNE IT)
Project Partner
Funding: Erasmus+
Duration: March 2023 – February 2025
TUNE IT project developed a modular training program on ecosystem services for local and regional authorities and managers responsible for the management of natural areas. The project aims to support the more effective management of natural areas, contribute to the protection and restoration of ecosystems, and strengthen the capacity of both site managers and public authorities. The training program was developed in five languages (English, Dutch, Croatian, Ukrainian, and Turkish) and includes three modules:
1. Foundations – Introduction to ecosystem services, methodologies, policy frameworks, and best practices
2. Application – Practical approaches to integrating ecosystem services into planning processes, stakeholder engagement, restoration planning, and funding strategies
3. Planning Future Actions – Tools and methods supporting participants in applying and sharing their knowledge within their institutions
The project involved 10 organizations from five countries, with DKM contributing significantly to both the development and implementation of the training modules.
