#Stakeholder Engagement #Water management
As part of the JOINTISZA, a transboundary initiative that aims to strengthen transnational water management and flood risk prevention, we worked with the Romanian partners of the project (National Administration "Romanian Waters", Ministry of Water and Forest and National Institute of Hydrology and Water Management) to help them put in place and implement a stakeholder engagement process that is based on an effective stakeholder analysis and prioritization of key stakeholders. We also supported the Romanian institutions in identifying and implementing the best methods for engaging the stakeholders and collecting suggestions and comments regarding transboundary water issues in the Tisza Basin and proposed measures.

#Corporate Sustainability #Employee Survey
Because we believe that corporate sustainability initiatives can not succeed without involving employees, the most important resource that a business has, based on our expertise, extensive review of specialised literature and best practices in the field of sustainable development we have developed a comprehensive survey that helps companies find out how their employees perceive the sustainability performance of the organisation and how they would improve it, what is their attitude towards sustainability at work and in their personal life or what motivates them to get involved.

#Focus Groups #Communication Strategy
As partners of the LIFE+ Nature project Fish for Life, we developed in 2018 the communication strategy of the project, a key document that provides the most feasible communication approaches and solutions for engaging the key stakeholders and creating pro-environmental behaviours. We based our research for the strategy on two methods: a PEST analysis and several focus groups with representatives from the local communities. By conducting these focus groups we wanted to make sure that the concerns, interests and experiences of local communities are reflected in the strategy. We have also developed communication strategies for the NGO ACDB and Natura 2000. CLIENTS: FISH FOR LIFE, ACDB, The Natura 2000 Coalition
#Training #Water Management #Biodiversity Management
Invisible Nature developed and delivered several trainings on water and biodiversity management and the use of GIS for an efficient management of protected areas, aimed at environmental NGOs, authorities and custodians of protected areas. For example, we were involved in developing and delivering the training ,,Strategic planning for the sustainable use of water resources", an activity that was part of the project ,,EME Natura 2000 (Efficient Managers for Efficient Natura 2000 Network)".

#Corporate Sustainability #Sustainable HR #Research
Invisible Nature is committed to invest time and resources in educating the Romanian corporate sector regarding what it means to have a strategic approach to sustainable development, to integrate sustainability into the core business and create organisational cultures that support the development of sustainable enterprises. That is why, for example, in 2015 Invisible Nature launched the research ,,The Role of HR in building a sustainable company", the first study in Romania that analyses the role of HR practices in advancing sustainability.
#River & Wetland Restoration Design #Conservation Planning
Since 2015 we have been working with WWF Romania on several projects related to wetland restoration. We offered technical assistance and consultancy for reconnecting the Garla Mare marshland to the Danube's natural flooding regime. We offered technical advice for the restoration of 925 hectares in the Danube Delta as part of the Reco Mahmudia project and we developed the management plan for the new restored wetland.
Invisible Nature has also developed a wetland restoration prioritisation tool based on a multi-criteria decision analysis to identify suitable floodplain restoration sites along the Danube river for new WWF projects. CLIENTS: WWF
#Stakeholder engagement
In 2016 we helped the Natura2000 Coalition engage with its internal and external stakeholders and find out how they perceive the activity of the Coalition, its impact, communication etc. The stakeholder engagement process was also aimed at collecting ideas on how the organisation can increase its strategic approach and impact in the field of nature conservation. The stakeholder engagement process that we implemented consisted of the following steps: identifying the relevant topics and issues; developing surveys for the internal and external stakeholders, implementing the surveys, analysing and interpreting the data and delivering the final report and recommendations to the organisation.

#Stakeholder Engagement #Facilitation #Conservation Planning
Opportunities to protect large undisturbed natural areas and intact landscapes still exist in the Southern Carpathians and WWF Romania is determined to establish Europe’s premier wilderness area. We helped build strategic conservation objectives and concrete actions required for such an ambitious initiative. Following a review of the initial strategic documents we found that understanding the existing context and the challenges of stakeholders is key for the success of the initiative. Finally, we identified and proposed a new approach for wilderness areas designation that is based on collective influence, systemic impact and collaboration for action. We were also involved in facilitating the meetings in which the action plan for wilderness areas was presented to local stakeholders. CLIENTS: WWF Romania
