The BIOGOV project uses video narratives as a means for mutual learning and communication. The video's in Portrait of regions show the situation on biodiversity in the various partner regions. Partner Meetings gives an impression of what happens when partners meet twice a year. In Regional Stakeholders you can hear the opinions of people who play an important role in each region. On a regular basis partners meet for a peer review in which they bring advice and take back lessons learned to their own region. Check the footage in Peer Reviews. Good practices is about successful regional practices that can be transferred to other regions. Want to know the opinion of politicians and policy makers? Watch the videos in Policy Improvement.
