PROMONT project focuses on Adrion rural areas with mountain relief, characterised by unique  biodiversity threatened by the unruled overexploitation of resources, by the unsustainable economic activities and by the seasonal mass-tourism that have led to pollution and overall loss of biodiversity.The overall objective is to protect and preserve the fragile and rich ecosystems of the Adriatic Ionian mountains  by promoting actions for environmental regeneration involving and empowering local communities and stakeholders. The project wants to foster a positive change of mindset about the human presence and its relation with mountain biodiversity: biodiversity and local communities will benefit from the success of the actions implemented by PROMONT, in the short and in the long term. PROMONT project will produce the following outputs:

1. One common strategy and one common action plan jointly developed
2. Six pilot actions developed jointly and implemented
3. Twelve organisations cooperating across borders

More specifically the project will act on 6 pilot areas, and will implement the following activities, correlated to specific bodies/stakeholders of the involved areas:

-to protect the unique ecosystems of the mountains;

-to support the involvement and empowerment of local communities in the design of respectful regenerative actions;

-to support the local economy;
