  • Emerald Network Questions and Answers
    Emerald Network Questions and Answers © Photos Giorgi Darchiashvili Teimuraz Popiashvili Irakli Shavgulidze Kakha Artsivadze Otar Abdaladze Christian Gönner GIZ NACRES This publication has been prepared by the NGO NACRES, in the frame of the ‘Integrated Biodiversity Management in South Caucasus’ (IBiS) programme implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The information and views set out in this publication are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official opinion of GIZ and/or BMZ. The second updated edition. Tbilisi, 2020 Foreword This brochure is an attempt to inform the public, especially decision-makers, about the establishment, official designation, and management of the Emerald Network. Our goal is to provide detailed answers to as many as possible questions that have occurred to the stakeholders since 2009, after Georgia initiated the process of the development of the Emerald Network, as stipulated by the Bern Convention. Particularly more questions have been raised within the last few years, because the establishment of the Emerald Network also became an obligation under the EU-Georgia Association Agreement. It is also important to note that this publication should not be expected to clarify all possible issues and questions regarding Emerald Network development and management - many aspects are yet to be defined and the existing experience of other countries and adaption to the national context of Georgia will be examined. Our intention was to ensure as much as possible that the brochure be useful and informative for the general public and decision-makers alike.
