In the second workshop on cleaning the Čiližský stream and plans for the restoration of adjacent wetlands, we completed the removal of waste in the vicinity of the former landfill at Veľký Meder. After opening the natural mouth of the Čiližský stream and restoring the flow to the stream, we prevent the movement of waste downstream
The dikes in the basins of our rivers are important bio-corridors. They often serve as eco-stabilising features and centres of biodiversity in the surrounding, agriculturally intensive landscape.
Our LIFE Endemic PANALP project is approaching its halfway point, and we are very happy that we are succeeding in fulfilling one of its main goals – the restoration of traditional grazing on rare drought-loving grassland habitats in the Small and White Carpathians and the Strážovské vrchy. In the last-named mountain range we have returned…
The autumn days from October 11th to 13th were marked by an active exchange of experiences in the management of valuable biotopes, where grazing is well combined with nature conservation. Together with stakeholders from Life-Subpannonic and Life-South, we embarked on a field trip to Hortobágy National Park.
Mossy Earth, an organization that partially funds our rescue trapping of the European ground squirrel, made a beautiful video about this adrenaline-pumping activity.
Many insect species are tied to a specific habitat at the forest-meadow interface. In the past, this boundary was nowhere as clear and straight as it is today. The transition from meadow to forest used to be loose, sometimes only a few trees, sometimes tens of metres wide and had a woodland character.
We are writing this post in response to the attacks that we’ve been facing in recent days, directly or indirectly, on ourselves and our conservation projects, which we have been working on systematically for a long time.
On Friday 9th of September 2023 we took part in the prestigious event European night of researchers. It is an action that promotes science and research and organizations and institutions that either collect data, analyze it or use it in their practice.
Also this year, in the summer months of July and August, we again organized six rounds of children’s camps on Veľkolélsky ostrov Island, with facilities at Ekofarm Ostrov.
The international LIFE WILDisland project brings together 15 partners from eight countries from Bulgaria to Germany. One of the very worthwhile and valuable traditions of the project is the annual meeting in the home country of one of the partners. This year we at BROZ had the honor to prepare an unforgettable experience for all of us in cooperation with our colleagues from Fertö Hanság National Park.
