The KNOWSHEEP project is increasing the appreciation of sheep industry that adds value to the local archipelago living environment by creating jobs in processing, marketing and tourism and promotes the preservation of biotopes and biodiversity. Project activities include research and review of the status of sheep industry and an assessment of its capacity and potential on the Baltic Sea islands. The project organizes seminars and publishes books for sheep farmers, experts and the public. Three sheep resource centres will be established to exchange info, organize events and trainings and serve as a meeting place for people involved in sheep farming.
The project takes place in two Biosphere Reserves; Archipelago Sea Area Biosphere Reserve in Finland and Western Estonian Archipelago Biosphere Reserve in Estonia.
