Education and awareness

Stakeholders and General Public involved in the project

Several communication, awareness and training actions will allow a better understanding of the European mink by the local stakeholders. It is an essential role to ensure success for the programme.

To achieve this objective:

• Creation of a website about the LIFE VISON programme
• Awareness campaigns for the local stakeholders (river technicians, trappers, hunters, local population, schools, in sport and leisure activities…)
• Involvement of the decision-makers to integrate the European mink conservation in local land use politics
• Implementation of information panels in strategic locations open to the public
• Production of documentaries about the project, actions, Charente River catchment and high value species of the LIFE area
• Creation of thematic information flyers
• Technical seminars
• Writing of scientific articles, accessible to the general public.
