Project objectives:
The main objective of the project is to improve the conservation status of the intermittent Lake Cerknica. For this purpose, we will:
- introduce new and revise existing agri-environmental schemes, that foster changes to the existing agricultural practices regarding mowing and form the basis for payment of agricultural subsidies to landowners at Lake Cerknica,
- carry out activities for conservation of the most important marsh land-plots, together with monitoring and evaluation of changes in this habitat type,
- remove the dead marsh vegetation and look for new market opportunities of its use,
- restore the breeding habitat of the Ferruginous duck and the Red-necked grebe and reduce disturbances in nesting and wintering periods,
- construct a parking lot at Gorenje Jezero village and install new traffic signalisation and other infrastructure to improve traffic on Lake Cerknica,
- conduct numerous expert surveys and analysis in various fields, necessary for the professional work and appropriate land management at Lake Cerknica,
- inform and educate the general public with a specific focus on activities and events for children and youth.
