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

the Protection and Sustainable Development of the Carpathians (<b class="">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></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;font-size:11pt"><span style="font-size:12pt" class=""><font face="arial, sans-serif" class=""> </font></span></p><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;" class=""><span style="font-size:12pt" class=""><font face="arial, sans-serif" class="">May we have your comments as members of the IYRP GCG on the MoC with the Carpathian Convention by 25
