Bio-diversity

The main project goal is active protection of 4 NATURA 2000 Refuges. Project activities aim at: 1.Maintenance and improvement of water logged meadows condition (combat of meadows overgrowing, over drying, improper use), which are place of living for rare species of butterflies: Maculinea teleius, Maculinea nausithous, Lycaena helle, Lycaena dispar, Coenonympha oedippus and Euphydryas aurinia; 2.Active protection and implementation (on NATURA 2000 area) of agro environmental programmes, supported by EU; 3.Raising local community awareness and implementation of good practices in natural resources management on NATURA 2000 areas. Biomass (around 5400 tones) acquired during project activities will be used in biofuel production. Project activities will help in biodiversity and water resources protection, as well as in climate change prevention (biomass production and usage in cement plant in Chelmno and in heating system of housing estate in Kampinoski National Park). Project has already been accepted (and co financed) by LIFE-NATURE Fund.
