The aim of the project is to improve the habitat for rare and protected saproxylic beetles in the four participating countries.
A large part of the biodiversity is dependent on old hollow trees. However, there is a lack of these structures in the landscape, as well as lack of grazing, which creates darker forests and leads to many species being on the red lists. Many of the sites are small and far apart making it a challenge to improve the landscape near and between them to help species survive. This challenge includes communicating with landowners and other stakeholders.
The project activities include visiting sites and regions to understand species habitats and the different challenges in each country, arranging workshops to discuss and decide actions for each region, and conducting field visits and workshops with landowners and other stakeholders.
