LIFE-Nature-2005 Restoration of the Wetlands of Zahorie Lowland prepared by: Jaromír ŠÍBL – project manager

Beneficiary and partners  State Nature Conservancy of SR  Slovak Water Management Enterprise  BROZ

Duration + budget  start: February 2005  end: December 2008  total budget: 624,000 EURO  EC contribution: 50%

Objectives General: development of NATURA 2000 network Specific:  improve habitat conditions of wetlands degraded by drainage  reach / maintain favourable conservation status of species and habitats targeted  public awareness on wetlands conservation / restoration

NATURA proposed Sites of Community Importance Habitats:  semi-natural pine, oak, birch and alder forests  pine monucultures  inland sand dunes  dry grasslands and heaths  wetlands  meadows  running waters

Species (all species recorded):  higher plants - more than 500  fish - 30  amphibians - 13  reptiles - 6  birds - 48  mammals - 24 Species of Community interest (Annex II of Habitats Directive)  higher plants - 1  beetles - 6  butterflies - 3  dragonflies - 4  cyclostomes and fish - 7  amphibians - 1  mammals - 7  birds (Annex I of Birds Directive) - 48

Threats  drainage of wetlands, regulations of watercourses  unsustainable forest management (clearcuts, pine monocultures)  fish migration obstacled by weir at Rudava River  lack of management of meadows  lack of awareness

Problems - Consequences  Lack of scientific information on MTA´s biodiversity (inventories)  Unsustainable forest management (in terms of biodiversity) - large scale clear-cuts - planting pine monocultures - increased danger of forest fires – loss of biodiversity  Deterioration of water regime - drainage of wetlands, stream regulations - interruption of fish migration routes (barriers) - loss of biodiversity - loss of retention capacity of the landscape – increased danger of climatic extremes (drought, floods)
