own examples of good and bad practices in the field of
entrepreneurship in natural areas, as well as providing the expert
knowledge to the policy-making guidelines that the project will
produce. Benefits will arise from working with institutions that are
tackling the same problems and good practices will be transferred
into Slovenian environment.
