Application of traditional knowledge to halt biodiversity loss in woodlands
Czech University of Life Sciences Prague ·Czechia
About this project
<p>The aim of the ROTATE Action is to support the biodiversity of organisms associated with traditional forms of forest management (coppicing, pollarding, leaf litter removal) in Central and Northern Europe. Interdisciplinary approach will ensure overcoming of existing barriers that prevent the introduction of knowledge into practice. The outputs will be processed in the form of scientific publications, workshops and conferences and in the form of an approved methodology that will reflect the needs of application guarantors. A wider transfer into practice and sustainability beyond the project is expected, which will be guaranteed by several application guarantors. The outputs will include monitoring of selected groups of organisms and ensuring long-term care of selected sites.</p>
Bilateral cooperation results
The project would not have been successful without bilateral cooperation. Bilateral research and collaboration has strengthened the knowledge of all involved actors and strengthened the bilateral relations that can lead to continued cooperation.
