Strategic Nature Projects
Strategic Nature and Integrated Projects (SNAP/SIP) · LIFE-PJG
What this call funds
This call funds large-scale projects that help fully implement national or regional nature conservation and restoration plans, such as EU habitat protection frameworks or national restoration plans. Instead of doing all the conservation work itself, the project should act as a catalyst - building capacity among authorities, coordinating stakeholders, and mobilising extra funding (ideally from other EU sources) to complete the plan over time. Projects can also include direct conservation actions and work to fix policies that undermine the plan.
