Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2016 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

Background The Wigierski National Park is important for the many species of plants and animals it hosts, as well as for certain habitats. A large number of wetland areas, especially around lakes, river valleys and small water bodies, provide good environments for amphibians. However, amphibian populations in the park remain under threat from human activities and are considered to be have a high risk of extinction in the project area. Objectives The project’s strategic objective focuses on supporting the conservation status of key amphibian populations in Natura 2000 areas in north-eastern Poland. Specific objectives include: decreasing amphibian mortality during seasonal migrations, and year-round, from human activity; increasing the number of amphibian breeding grounds; managing forested areas and open areas in order to create optimal living conditions for amphibians; and organising a monitoring network of amphibian threats near transport routes. Expected results: Expected project results include: Reducing amphibian mortality rates (by 80% or more) during seasonal migrations of the local populations in the Natura 2000 sites at Ostoja Wigierska, Ostoja Suwalki, Narew Marshes, and Forest Romincka; The establishment of four small water reservoirs to increase the availability of amphibian breeding places; Improving living conditions in an area of approximately 200 ha for the two local amphibian populations at Ostoja Wigierski and Romincka Forest; An increase in knowledge about technical solutions that protect amphibians against threats arising from the presence of humans in the area, and the production of a guidance manual on this topic; An increase in the amount of data available on amphibian threats near transport routes in north eastern Poland; The creation of an amphibian monitoring network based around selected schools and educational centers; and Two new publications on amphibian conservation.
