The Programme aims to address two main causes of biodiversity decline, namely human interference with ecosystems (e.g. landscape fragmentation) and over-exploitation of ecosystems (e.g. excessive tourism). Through the Programme, a reduction of the pressure on ecosystem functions and services in the landscape, especially in nature valuable sites, shall be achieved.

Enhancing Biodiversity:

- focus on landscape and river network fragmentation to enhance connectivity of species populations, favourable status of ecosystems and their functions, as well as landscape permeability and stability.

Sustainable Tourism:

- focus on systematic changes to management of visitor flows on nature wealth and ecosystem services in selected localities.
