Nature conservation work must directly benefit the local population. For this reason, LEC offers employment opportunities to people from the surrounding area. The local team is complemented by specialists who take care of the various aspects of professional project management and by international scientists.
A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
