It contains several types of habitats and species under threat which are listed in the annexes of the Habitats Directive. Habitat and biodiversity loss is mainly due to the land use changes (afforestation and intensive agriculture)over the last decades. The project aimed to improve the conservation status of the habitats and species in the Kleine Net Valley, as well as the development of three integrated conservation plans based on a detailed vegetation map and field research and an after-LIFE conservation plan. In the long term, the results of the project will show the extension and establishment of the targeted habitats, as well as increased populations of the species linked to these habitats. Further outcomes to be placed are better visitor facilities and more information (brochures, leaflets, flyers) about the area, encouraging socio-economic support for the Natura 2000 area and the LIFE project.
