PROJEKT: Conservation of European Ground Squirrel
LIFE syseľ. Ochrana sysľa pasienkového

Two donkeys from ZOO Bojnice arrived at Salaš Šurice last week. There is a territory of European importance, declared for the ground squirrel and several other rare and protected animals, called Owl’s Castle. Since it is necessary for these animals to graze grasslands, these two fawns will also help to maintain habitat of beautiful pastures suitable also for ground squirrels in the years to come.

By restoring grazing in the country and supporting local farmers, we will achieve, in addition to the primary profit from animal breeding, better biodiversity and diversity and a landscape suitable for many animals, for example ground squirrels.
