The Awareness Working Group aims at achieving public and political support for the project focusing on a transboundary ecological network along the Sava River and raising awareness of the importance of maintaining the diversity of natural structures of the river basin, with focus on the riparian wetland, riparian forests and floodplain areas and their functions as ecological corridors. Local stakeholders and the general public are encouraged to support the project objectives through public awareness campaigns and demonstration of the positive effects of sustainable extensive agriculture and harmonised land use practices with the protection needs of the floodplain landscape.
