V sklopu Strateškega projekta za trajnostno upravljanje naravnih virov in teritorialno kohezijo KRAS – CARSO projekta je urejena dostopna pot in razgledna točko na Cerju, kjer stoji Pomnik braniteljem slovenske zemlje. Tako so obiskovalcem še bolj približali razgledno točko in jim omogočili lažji dostop do raziskovanja bogate zgodovinske dediščine. Z naložbo pa je bilo vzpostavljeno tudi tesno strateško sodelovanje med različnimi ustanovami in skupinami na območju Krasa, ki jim je skupno ohranjanje naravne, kulturne in zgodovinske dediščine ter enotna prepoznavnost kraškega okolja.

The project was nominated by Boštjan Jakopič: ''This seven-storey monument affords a spectacular view of the mountains and the sea and takes visitors through landmark periods of Slovenian history.''
The KRAS–CARSO Project, short for Sustainable Management of Natural Resources and Territorial Cohesion, supported the restoration of the trail leading to the top of the Cerje hill where the Memorial to the defenders of the Slovenian homeland is located, and opening of a viewing platform on top floor of the monument. Restored and maintained paths make the hike to the monument much more enjoyable and faster. Once atop, the visitors can enjoy breathtaking views from the viewing platform, and explore rich historic heritage collections. The investment further strengthened strategic cooperation between different institutions and associations in the Karst region whose coordinated action seeks to conserve natural, cultural and historic heritage as well as promote the Karst region.
