Preliminary Research

Introduction

The Preliminary Research Report serves as a foundation for understanding the current state of
natural and cultural heritage in mountain regions across partner countries, as well as the challenges
and opportunities related to their preservation and sustainable development. This report aims to
analyze existing conditions, policies, and practices, providing insights into how these regions can be
better protected while fostering awareness among young people about the impacts of climate
change.

This research focuses on two key areas:

1. Literature Review: A comprehensive review of available resources to gather information on
environmental, ecological, socio-economic, and cultural aspects of mountain regions.
Particular attention is given to existing conservation policies and sustainable development
initiatives.
2. Current Situation Analysis: An in-depth examination of environmental status, socio-
economic factors, and the preservation of natural and cultural heritage in each partner
country.

The findings from this research will inform the development of educational tools and methodologies
aimed at raising awareness among youth. By providing a detailed overview of mountain regions in
the partner countries and aligning local efforts with broader European standards, this report sets
the stage for creating impactful resources to promote sustainable practices and the protection of
heritage.
