Comments
Main implementation barriers have been:
- the importance of property rights, mostly farmers ones, and the difficulty to deal with land property
- the negotiation with farmers, highly impacted by the project and who were initially †œagainst† a total renaturation project. Their involvement in the decision process, the negotiation of compensations and decisions such as the non-expropriation of farmers or the †œdrainage right†, had to be discussed and taken into account.
- previous conflicts that had occurred between farmers and nature organizations
- non-expropriation has finally became a conflict factor
