Biography

Iris Beneš is a president of Brod Ecological Society-BED, organization working since 1989 on the nature protection and preservation of natural and cultural heritage in Croatia. Flooded and protected pasture Gajna near village of her grandparents is a place where BED as a founding member supports Pasturing Community Eko-Gajna, the only place in Croatia where a collective in form of a cooperative manages traditional common pasture. Her professional background in law, along with interests in human rights and nature conservation, and a family heritage have led Iris to her current engagement in civil society projects and initiatives, where she is keen to find practical solutions for problems, exchange knowledge, and advocate for grassroots initiatives. She is also a member of national councils and working groups in sustainable agriculture/nature protection.
