“I do have hope. Nature is enormously resilient, humans are vastly intelligent, the energy and enthusiasm that can be kindled among young people seems without limit, and the human spirit is indomitable. But if we want life, we will have to stop depending on someone else to save the world. It is up to us-you and me, all of us. Myself, I have placed my faith in the children.”

Community engagement goes beyond just 'involving' the community to actively drawing members of the community into activities and issues. Community engagement covers the range of actions contributing to conservation outcomes. These can include:
- producing property management plans
- producing a conservation agreement on private land
- improving planning and monitoring skills
- volunteering time and energy for on-ground works
- contributing to the development of regional and local conservation plans
- donating money
- raising local awareness of threatened species.

Community engagement encourages all groups and individuals interested in the environment to work together to obtain conservation outcomes. It promotes the exchange of information and ideas and increases the likelihood of community ownership of environmental problems and solutions. Community development or capacity building is a key part of effective community engagement, and involves providing a community with the information, training, skills, contacts and support needed to engage in an issue and take control of activities in their area.

We are a team of plants' enthusiasts ( farmers, biologists, nature guides, beekeepers, naturalists, environmentalists, etc) who are interested to establish an organisation to work between authorities and local communitites for the protection of the rare habitats of North East Aegean Islands.
Our goal is to activate the laws for Natura areas of our islands and start working towards conservation of the plants and wildlife into these areas which are supposed to be proteced but there is no real time management.

# data[].attributes.headline
We aim to work to defend, strengthen, fund, and ensure effective implementation of the legal status of The Natura Proteced Areas and other core wildlife protective laws and create community based projects so as to create space for local comminities to take action and become the guards of their environment taking action to several directions 1.Defending and strengthening the Threatened Species Action, which aims to provide an essential legal safety net to prevent the loss of plant and animal species to extinction.  agencies and others accountable for complying with laws protecting rare and endangered species using cooperation, persuasion, and—where necessary—litigation. 2.Advocating for funding to private landowner incentives or public and communal land projects and other conservation programs that benefit endangered species. 3.Protecting and restoring the habitats on which endangered species and other wildlife depend for their survival, and encouraging wildlife-friendly land management practices. 4.Reducing threats to wildlife that can lead to their endangerment and extinction, such as loss of habitat, contamination of water and spread of invasive species.

North East Aegean islands harbor a remarkable array of plan species, ranging from centeranian Holm oaks to tiny desert wildflowers like Lilium candidum Unfortunately many of our species have not fared well over the past few decades, suffering from threats such as habitat loss and the spread of invasive species.
