About this project

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The project restores and improves the status of one alluvial located in southwestern Slovakia. Wetland restoration will include water regime improvement (hydrological regime modifications, sediment removal, and litter remediation) and management of degraded wetland biotopes (mapping and remediation of invasive species). Microclimate of area of concern, living conditions of protected species, living quality of inhabitants of surrounding municipalities will improve and recreational potential of the site will increase. Water management-environmental study and landscape-ecological study/analysis elaborated by Project Promoter in cooperation with Project Partners will present important data background for further sustainable restoration measures. New educational trail will increase public awareness on degraded wetland ecosystem restoration in terms of climate change.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The basic target group of project is environment itself in terms of expected wetland improvement and mitigation of negative impacts of climate change. Further target groups are children and pupils of primary and secondary schools in surrounding municipalities. Project aims to educate them on the importance of the local wetland in terms of climate change and change their behaviour in terms “to feel responsible for” and be active in wetland preservation and management. Youth organization will take care of restored wetland. Students of universities and teachers will benefit too, due to valuable data reached and management practises analysed. State Nature Conservancy of the Slovak Republic as policy-related authority (public organisation) will benefit from project materials in further wetland preservation and management.</span></span></p>
