Section 5 Recommendations ■ Zones created within proposed IPAs. ■ Developing a procedure for regularly updating the IPA network NEJC JOGAN ■ Disseminating information on IPAs as widely as possible. ■ Developing a special strategy for the “Slovenian case”: 1/3 of the country is within the proposed EU Natura 2000 network: who would dare to protect more ■ Helping neighbouring countries in the early phases of IPA projects. ■ Developing a system for selection of IPAs within well preserved areas. ■ Lobbying for efficient allocation of money: detailed investigation versus large scale sustainable use support. Trnovski gozd The area of Trnovski Gozd and Nanos is a plateau rising with steep slopes from the sub- Mediterranean Vipava valley to over 1200 metres. It is a patchwork of limestone rocks and screes, sub-Mediterranean dry grassland often colonized by Common juniper, and well preserved natural forests. It is particularly rich in plants and contains the only Slovenian generic endemic Hladnikia pastinacifolia (APIACEAE). NEJC JOGAN Prevojske Gmajne The site of Prevojske Gmajne is encircled by the heavily urbanized landscape north east of Ljubljana, but in an area of about 5 km 2 , there are 12 red data list wetland species including the only known Slovenia locality for Hammarby paludosa and probably the largest population of Eleocharis carniolica, which live in the natural marsh habitats and the semi-ruderal sites along the rarely used forest cart-tracks. 66
IPAs in South East Europe IPAs in south east Europe South east Europe is one of the most diverse regions in Europe for wild plants and their habitats, which occur in a mosaic of mountains, forest, grasslands, river gorges, lakes and coastlines.The Balkan and Rhodope Mountains are recognised as Centres of Plant Diversity. Projects to identify the best plant sites in this region have already begun through pilot work to collate existing data, identify potential sites, and to assess existing information on land use, threats and plant conservation policy. References Individual country report references are given adjacent to country accounts Vangelis J. et al. 2004, Potential IPAs in South East Europe. (Oral Presentation at SEE side event at the Planta Europa IV Conference) (www.nerium.net/plantaeuropa) IUCN & WWF, 1994, Centres of Plant Diversity. Background to the Project National coordinators and teams in Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia (FYR), and Serbia and Montenegro have identified several hundred IPAs and 37 cross-border sites in the Regional Environmental Centre’s (REC) ‘Plants Along the Borders’ Project, which aims to enhance the co-operation between south eastern European countries through undertaking joint actions for plant conservation. In Serbia, the national IPA team, coordinated by the University of Belgrade, have identified many of their IPAs as part of an ongoing project. Challenges The main challenges to the identification of sites were the age of the available data, the lack of national Red Lists, the lack of vegetation mapping in many countries, and the short time available for the pilot work. Threats Habitat loss through human activity in wetland, coastal and marine areas is very high, as are the effects of agricultural intensification.The main threats in the mountains are forestry exploitation, burning, over-grazing and over-exploitation of some of the wild food and medicinal plants. Recommendations • Further funding is required for field investigation, mapping and to engage more stakeholders • National Red Lists using IUCN criteria need to be completed and integrated into European and global Red Lists and legal documents • Awareness raising among specialists and the public • Local community involvement in site management and protection • Engage with government agencies, representatives of state-owned economies and the private sector to improve strategic planning and conservation action • Use IPA data to engage with Pan-European and global initiatives 67
