Restoration to promote NATURA 2000 (priority) species

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Conserving flagship species and restoring their populations is a powerful driver for broader ecological connectivity along the European Green Belt. Under the Interreg ReCo project (Restoring degraded eco-systems along the Green Belt to improve and enhance biodiversity and ecological connectivity), two transnational pilot regions focused on species-oriented restoration – one on the European bison Bos bonasus in north-western Poland, and the other on the European wildcat Felis silvestris across the Austrian–Czech border. These pilots demonstrate how targeted interventions (like reintroductions, telemetry monitoring, and habitat management for focal species) can enhance survival of endangered fauna while also safeguarding the ecosystems they inhabit. Joint Pilot Action “Species” was implemented in two regions to test innovative conservation approaches, with a strong emphasis on stakeholder involvement and community impact. In Poland’s Ińsko Lakeland, cutting-edge GPS tracking and community engagement have improved the outlook for Europe’s largest land mammal. In Austria/Czech Republic, the reintroduction and study of wildcats – once thought extinct locally – are reconnecting fragmented forest habitats and raising public awareness. Both pilots contribute to climate adaptation by promoting genetic diversity and mobility of species (so populations can adjust to environmental changes) and by maintaining keystone species that shape resilient ecosystems. This guide consolidates objectives, methods, and lessons from these species pilots, offering practical guidance to conservation practitioners on boosting species recovery, engaging communities, and aligning such efforts with broader biodiversity goals.
