The aim of the Steering Committee's members is to contribute with their expertise and knowledge in the preparation of the Congress' programme and activities providing valuable assets to the Congress organisation. Each member will focus on specific areas according with their expertise.

The Steering committee's members have been chosen in order to guarantee the representation of the main European organisations involved in the project since it started on September 2011, ensuring at the same time a strong knowledge on the Congress objectives and broadly reflecting different areas of work related to nature and biodiversity conservation.
