\r\n\r\nWe were fully convinced that our work has benefits for nature in the past weeks, when the restored slopes bloomed with a huge number of herbs. At some locations, it was possible to record some of them for the first time! On a most recently cleared area near Z\u00e1vada, for example, a cooperating farmer, Mrs. Bajz\u00edkov\u00e1, discovered a rare pyramidal orchid. It was not known from this area until now. The occurrence of orchids, which can be counted here in the hundreds, we have also adjusted the care here together. Goats and sheep grazed above Z\u00e1vada all winter, and together with a pair of donkeys, they returned here only a few days ago, when the last orchids began to bloom. In the past, when animals grazed on hundreds of hectares, there would be no need to deal with such “details”. Today, however, targeted care is very beneficial on the remaining diverse pastures.\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/broz.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/448217727_8363056913724291_8993845182609593582_n-300x225.jpg\")

Similar to the pyramidal orchid near Z\u00e1vada, we were also positively surprised by the discovery of the Ophyrs holubyana near Dobr\u00e1 Voda village in the Little Carpathians, which has not been documented here so far. It was also on a freshly cleared area where a herd of cattle and goats will graze in cooperation with local farmer. Just a few kilometers further, near Pra\u0161n\u00edk village, we allowed more light to dozens of no less rare three-toothed orchid by removing non-native pine trees.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
However, not only orchids benefit from our activity. In recent years, we have focused, among other things, on the restoration of the meadows behind the Vr\u0161atsk\u00e9 bradl\u00e1. These are one of the few locations in the world where the endemic Tephroseris longifolia moravica is found. In recent years, the employees of the PLA Administration counted both flowering and sterile individuals in units of up to tens of pieces, but this year it was in the order of hundreds again! In addition to the suitable weather, this can also be attributed to the fencing of flowering individuals from animals, which is also part of our project. But we are even more pleased that endemic plants appear here even in places that we cleared from air raids only last year and the year before.<\/p>\r\n

\r\nWe thank all cooperating local farmers, field workers and land owners for all the support and help in the work on the LIFE Endemic PANALP project so far, without which the restoration of the flowering hillsides would not be possible!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Our project LIFE Endemic Panalp, aimed at the protection of several endemic species and habitats of dry grasslands, has recently moved into the second half. So, what did we achieve during the first one? First of all, in the Str\u00e1\u017eovsk\u00e9 vrchy, Pova\u017esk\u00e9 Inovec, Mal\u00e9 and Biely Karpaty, we restored a total of more than 80…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33789,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-protection-of-habitats","pmpro-has-access","category-31","description-off"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
