LIFE FLOODPLAIN AMPHIBIANS (LIFE Auenamphibien)
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2023,
Background
The ongoing decline of amphibian species is especially severe in Central and Northern Europe, particularly those species listed in Annex II and IV of the Habitats Directive. This is due to habitat destruction and degradation, mainly driven by the intensification of land use over recent decades. In some regions, more than 90% of reproduction po ...

Re-creating habitat complexity for semi-aquatic fauna (SemiAquaticLife)
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,
... Freshwater ecosystems are vital for biodiversity and human wellbeing. Wetlands harbour multiple organisms that are at least partially dependent on freshwaters for completing their lifecycle. Amphibians and invertebrates are key components of wetlands, and these groups contain numerous endangered species. The semi-aquatic lifecycle of these groups make them particularly susceptible to chan ...

Restoring populations of Lesser Spotted Eagle at chosen areas of Natura 2000 (LIFEAQUILA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
...e major river valleys in Puszcza Bialowieska) caused by canalisation. This has resulted in oxbow lakes and interconnected canals drying out earlier in the year, thereby decreasing the availability of amphibian prey. Lesser spotted eagle productivity has consequently decreased from 52% to 29% in Puszcza Bialowieska.

Rehabilitation of the Baltic coastal lagoon habitat complex (BALTCOAST)
Start date: May 1, 2005, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
...trenches would be blocked. Additionally, eutrophic mud and dense reed vegetation would be removed from the lagoons. These actions would lead to the enhancement of habitat quality for wading birds and amphibians. Dry semi natural habitats would be restored by clearing overgrowth with bushes and trees including alien invasive species such as the wrinkled rose (Rosa rugosa). Appropriate grazing regim ...

Management of fire-bellied toads in the Baltic region (Bombina in the Baltic Region)
Start date: Apr 1, 2004, End date: Dec 31, 2009,
...ect of the project would be international networking between the partners, through annual workshops around the Baltic Sea. This was expected to yield several outputs useful for anyone interested in amphibian conservation. The project´s planned use of the latest techniques of genetic analysis in order to advance nature conservation work, might also yield results worth disseminating.
