The LIFE-IP 4 NATURA project strengthens management and protection of Natura 2000 sites in Greece, promoting biodiversity and sustainability. Through collaborations with public entities, organizations, and local communities, it develops strategies and tools for ecosystem conservation and promotes environmental education and citizen participation in nature conservation. 

The LIFE EL-BIOS project aims to develop an integrated National Biodiversity Information System , which: 

• collects information  from existing Greek biodiversity databases currently not interconnected (free access geoportal), 

• combines and easily disseminates information and data regarding Greece’s biodiversity (through tiered access). 

Additionally to the National Biodiversity Information System, the project includes innovative biodiversity data collection methods in pilot sites of the Natura 2000 network: 

• Northern Pindos National Park 

• Kotychi-Strofylia Wetlands National Park 

The end result is to facilitate biodiversity monitoring, conservation, and management in Greece.
