Project Characteristics and Results
Capacity - Building Component
Getting knowledge on a specific methodology in this type of activity, where purchase is the only tool to solve existing conflict;
Wigry Foundation later was asked as "expert" in solving similiar problems
Notable Community Participation
Negative - approved money was just enough to purchase a strip of a field (path) and parking, not whole reserve; farmer recognising during negotiations who is behind (UN dollars!) wanted to achieve 10 times more!
