During 12.-13.-3. the visit of the project monitor and the representative of the European Commission took place for the purpose of checking the LIFE Danube Floodplains project.
We are proud to announce that we have been nominated among the 27 finalists in the European competition NATURA 2000 Award 2024!
In the past, the Vojčianske side arm was part of the so-called of the inland Danube delta – a system of free-flowing river branches. After the construction of the Gabčíkovo Water Works, most of the water was diverted to the hydroelectric power plant through the supply channel, which resulted in cutting off the entire branch system from the Danube.
The current spring simulated flood of the inland Delta is occurring very early this year, with high flows set at its onset. For which species is this beneficial?
On Saturday 2.3. the flow rates through the Dobrohošť inlet facility begun to raise. Here the water flows into the left branch system of the Danube, the so-called inland delta with the aim of connecting this rare system of river branches and wetlands to the Danube water.
In addition to the design of revitalisation measures, the preparatory phase of the LIFE WILDisland project also included scanning of the project areas using LiDAR technology, which works on the principle of transmitting light pulses.
On 6th of February 2024 BROZ organized a final conference of the LIFE Danube Floodplains project in the Congress Centre Divoká Voda, under the title We Restore the Heart of the Danube Floodplains.
We had the honor of participating in a roundtable discussion with European Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, Virginijus Sinkevičius, and fellow nature conservation NGOs at the Representation of the European Commission in Slovakia.
The ground squirrel team is working hard on clearing the beautiful, grike ground squirrel field in Tisovec, abundant with rocks and biodiversity.
Our team is definitely not sitting idle, they’re running over the sleeping ground squirrels’ heads and working on clearing future pastures. For example, on the Muránska plain. You surely know the ground squirrel site Biele vody, which is very popular for the purpose of observing and “feeding” ground squirrels, sort of like a ground squirrel safari.
