Project goals

• To conduct the restoration activities on a minimum of 560 ha and improve management of additional 1020 ha of bush-encroached Natura 2000 target grasslands and significantly increase the number of nesting pairs of the four target bird species in the project area through upscaling activities and transfer of knowledge from the Dinara back to LIFE project to the wider region.
• To empower livestock farmers, decision makers and other stakeholders to preserve the target Natura 2000 grassland habitats and associated species by improving the economic profitability of traditional extensive agriculture and boosting resilience to climate change.
• To advocate for the preservation of the mosaic landscape by making it more resilient to climate change through the application of nature based solutions and the testing of legal options related to the Nature Restoration Law and national legislation.
• To raise awareness about the importance of mosaic landscape conservation, target habitats and related species, and promote traditional agricultural practices and EU policies that contribute to solving existing challenges.

The Mosaic of LIFE project is co-financed by the European Union’s LIFE Programme, Government of the Republic of Croatia Office for Cooperation with NGOs, and the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund.
