During our research in June, we were able to discover some exciting species that are only rarely found in the study area. Time and again,

In the absence of traditional management, natural succession processes quickly turned biodiverse grasslands into dark forests. Through our project, we are implementing targeted measures to restore overgrown grasslands and counteract this ongoing decline.

Wild boar (Sus scrofa) are ecosystem engineers that can reshape landscapes. Their natural rooting behaviour disturbs the soil and resets successional processes in grasslands, creating
