Perhaps this will be the first such expansion of CC into addressing pastoralism in the Carpathian zone. <br><br>When we concluded just 3 days ago a global capacity building event (Summer Field School) executed from Hungary's Bukk mountains, we are going to execute from 1 Oct an interesting project "<span style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)">Conserving Pastures and Halting Climate Change in Mountain Areas of V4 Countries</span>" in Hungary, SLovakia, Poland. It is funded by the Visegrad Fund. In addition to capacity building, The Grassroots Institute likes to organize 5 stakeholders [Shepherds, CSOs, Business Groups, Local Governance Bodies, and Academia] for "Pastoralists in Eastern Europe". <br><br>So, we will be willing to cooperate with the IYRP's MoC and promote the objectives in the Carpathian region, especially in V4 countries and Ukraine & Romania. </font></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Feel free to involve us if comfortable for you people.<br><br><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">

support for the IYRP. For some, more guidance is needed on how to support the
IYRP through specific actions and for others, collaboration with IYRP has to be
formalized. The draft Memorandum of Cooperation between the <b>IYRP</b> and the Framework Convention on
the Protection and Sustainable Development of the Carpathians (<b>Carpathian Convention</b>),
representing 7 countries in Central and Eastern Europe sharing the Carpathian Mountains, is in its final stages. The drafting process was led by Engin Yilmaz from the
IYRP, and we seek your comments on the final draft before we as co-chairs can sign the MoC. </font></span></p>
