For example in the Tisovský kras area:
A local farm has also recently had its grike fields excluded from subsidies. This story is familiar to many farmers and can shuffle the financial stability of many of them. In Tisovec, the farmer was helped by an appeal and a large population of ground squirrels, thanks to which he did not lose the subsidies in the end. So the lovely ground squirrels finally repaid their benefactors for their kindness. It was also thanks to the LIFE ground squirrels project, which boosted the population here and thanks to which a number of fences have been erected, that the farmer has thus benefited multifold.
