Abstract
ABSTRACT: The rich Western Balkans biodiversity and ecosystem services suffer from negative anthropogenic activities. Solving those problems requires a coherent strategy for biodiversity conservation with a focus on the involvement of relevant stakeholders. This paper presents a Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) as a tool for biodiversity protection and conservation on a local level in five countries of the Western Balkans. Results indicate that the LBAP improved local planning practices and secured stakeholder involvement by adequate stakeholder analysis and well defined incentives in the form of probiodiversity business (PBB). LBAP also enabled municipalities to assess biodiversity potential on their territory, and to develop a comprehensive planning document and biodiversity protection action plan.
