About LIFE ENABLE & the European Nature Academy (ENA)

 

Natura 2000 and Protected Area managers work in a wide variety of roles, in multidisciplinary settings. Where you work is likely to be dynamic, constantly evolving and complex. You routinely face challenges and opportunities in your daily work, which require you to apply a special mix of knowledge, skills and attitudes. In almost all cases, as well as technical conservation skills, you need to work inclusively, in cooperation with local communities and other organisations: in this, you need to be able to communicate what you are doing and why. The management choices you make and the ways in which you work are critical to achieving progress towards your objectives for nature.

 

LIFE ENABLE is designed to meet Natura 2000 and Protected Area managers’ training needs. It is creating the new European Nature Academy (ENA) to provide tailor-made training and support your professional development. 

 

The goal is to contribute to ensuring progress towards the realisation of the objectives and ambitions of the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030 and underpinning policies. 

 

To achieve this, the ENA’s cost-free training courses focus on the competencies required to manage Natura 2000 and Protected Areas more effectively.

 

Who should apply?

 

At this stage, we are looking for 100 individuals working currently in Protected Areas across Europe. Once selected, you will become part of the ENA and enroll as participants to the courses.
