The fact that nature preservation and habitat rehabilitation goes beyond national boundaries was clear to the partners in the project that focuses on enhancing the quality of nature protection in the cross-border area, both in protected and urban areas in the region.  Two urban parks have been reinvigorated, with interventions aiming at inviting new species to the urban areas and a bird education centre was established to act as a knowledge hub for experts and amateurs interested in nature and birds. Research has been conducted into the biodiversity of the border area and recommendation for better conservation practices elaborated. Several joint publications have also been developed as an outcome of the project and awareness-raising events organised to introduce a wider section of society to the challenges of nature protection and the importance of preservation of biodiversity.
