In order to develop and mediate locally effective conservation measures in nature conservation areas, ISOE will organize dialogue events at three selected study sites of the DINA project. An exchange between participants from agriculture, administration, nature conservation, and other local interest groups, as well as the researchers from the project, will be initiated.

Over a period of two years, a series of up to four events at each of these three locations will aim at developing a common understanding of the local problem situation, the DINA research results, as well as the perspectives and local dynamics in and around the affected nature reserve. Subsequently, the participants will jointly develop and assess practical measures to improve insect conservation in and around the protected areas.

The continuous exchange will develop a new quality of knowledge about nature conservation in the agricultural landscape and vitalize local networks among local stakeholders, and between science and practice – with valuable lessons to be learned for an application of similar processes in other regions.
