Results booklet on the LIFE project Meadow Birds published

Ten years of nature conservation work on 28 pages

Our precursor project LIFE Meadow Birds is coming to an end. Currently, the last measures in the project areas Butjadingen and Dümmer are being implemented and will be completed by 2025 at the latest.

As a review of a decade of nature conservation work, a results booklet has now been published within the framework of the LIFE project Meadow Birds.

The richly illustrated booklet gives a vivid overview of the successes achieved and the challenges that still exist for the protection of meadow birds. With a duration of 10 years and a total budget of 22.3 million euros, the LIFE project Meadow Birds was the largest EU-funded LIFE project in Germany up to the start of the project.

You can download the booklet below.
