Projects & Practice

Using RDP support to turn a farm into a nature reserve; contributing to tackling biodiversity loss.

An environmental NGO implemented a project to preserve and maintain an old clay pit that provides shelter to a number of rare and endangered species.

In favour of biodiversity, a municipality decided to remove spruce trees growing on municipal soil and to rehabilitate broadleaved trees that were originally growing in these areas.

EAFRD funding helped set up associations that bring together local stakeholders with diverse interests to manage the implementation of Nature 2000 conservation rules.
