[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]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. The forests were often used as pastures, i.e. they were so-called grazing forests, with enormous biodiversity. For many species, these are the optimal places to live. Among rare butterfly species, they are sought out by the clouded Apollo (<\/span>Parnassius mnemosyne<\/span><\/i>), the Jersey tiger (<\/span>Callimorpha quadripunctaria<\/span><\/i>) or Fenton’s wood white (<\/span>Leptidea morsei<\/span><\/i>). We are planning to create such places for them as part of the project.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nIn the Fa\u010dkovsk\u00e1 Homolka site, we have removed the dense thicket of bushes and opened up the forest edge. In the summer a local farmer will start grazing here by fencing in the cleared areas.\u00a0<\/span>This combination should be ideal.<\/span>\r\n\r\nNow we just have to wait for the butterflies.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
