Background The project area includes several habitats types that are listed in Annex I of the Habitats Directive. In particular, habitat type 6230*: species-rich Nardus grasslands on silicious substrates in mountain areas (and sub-mountain areas in continental Europe). This is present in the Natura 2000 site, Beskydy, covering an area of 647.6 ha – the third largest area of this habitat type in all sites of Community importance in the Czech Republic. Habitat 6230* is under threat, mainly due to eutrophication and the abandonment of traditional land management practices such as grazing and mowing. Eutrophication leads to an increase in productive grasses and a decline in the prevalence of plants that are typical of this habitat, while the cessation of traditional land management practices leads to a gradual succession to forest vegetation. Some LIFE projects have already been implemented in the Carpathians. However, none of them have focused specifically on Nardus grasslands, which are now in urgent need of conservation. Objectives The project aims to improve the conservation status and management of Nardus grasslands in the Natura 2000 Beskydy site. Specifically, the project aims to: Improve the quality of Nardus grasslands in pSCI Beskydy; Determine the optimal management of Nardus grasslands; Create a management plan for the Nardus grasslands; Inform the majority of owners of Nardus grasslands about the importance of the grasslands, their threats and the need to care for their growth; Involve owners of Nardus grasslands in the project, and especially in carrying out management actions on their land. Inform the general public about the importance of Nardus grassland and threats to its conservation. Expected results: An improvement in the condition of 45 ha of Nardus grasslands in the Beskydy site; An assessment of the current status of Nardus grasslands in the site and a plan for their conservation; The identification of the most appropriate management measures, based on an evaluation of monitoring data; Contact with at least 65% of the owners of Nardus grasslands in pSCI Beskydy throughout questionnaires; At least 10% of the total area of 45 ha of Nardus grasslands included in the project managed by the land owners; A public information and awareness campaign carried out, and a range of dissemination material produced and distributed.
