Project goals:

Improving the conservation status of target habitat types and species in the Natura 2000 site called the Notranjska Triangle, covering the areas of Lake Cerknica and the Planina Polje:

• improvement of conditions directly in the field and revitalisation of the cultural landscape on 232 hectares of land,
• restoration of the double meander of the Stržen River at Beli Breg, which had been regulated in the past, in the Cerknica Plain,
• filling in of a drainage ditch and excavation of a previously filled-in natural depression in the Planina Polje,
• improvement of the conservation status of the habitat type intermittent lakes and of the species Ferruginous duck (Aythya nyroca) and Little crake (Zapornia parva),
• establishment of regular management of agricultural land, thereby ensuring the conservation of habitat types such as wet meadows with Molinia caerulea, alkaline fens, and Hydrophilous tall herb fringe communities, as well as habitats for animal species such as corncrake (Crex crex), barred warbler (Curruca nisoria), great crested newt (Triturus carnifex), and plant species such as Dalmatian scilla (Scilla litardierei),
• arrangement of a karst pond to improve the habitat of the yellow-bellied toad (Bombina variegata),
• measure of guano cleaning and establishment of easier access to the maternity colony of the Greater mouse-eared bat (Myotis myotis)
• relieving the most sensitive parts of the project area from visitor pressure through the establishment of entry points, educational trails, birdwatching hides, canoe entry points, and visitor parking areas,
• raising nature conservation awareness among the local and wider public through concrete field activities and communication actions.
