Reintroduction of lynxes (Lynx lynx carpathicus) in the Palatinate Forest Biosphere Reserve (LIFE Luchs Pfälzerwald)
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Sep 30, 2021,
Background
The Eurasian lynx (lynx lynx carpathicus) disappeared from the Rhineland-Palatinate area in the 18th century. Nowadays the closest population of lynx to the Pfälzerwald/Palatinate Forest is a French population in the southern Vosges.
Monitoring in the Pfälzerwald has periodically identified individual lynxes. These are expected to originate ...

Restoration and conservation of sloping and transition mires in low mountain range Hunsrück (area Hochwald) (LIFE Hochwald)
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2020,
Background
The wooded landscape of the Hunsrück low mountain range in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate hosts the severely endangered habitat type âTransition mires and quaking bogsâ, as well as the priority habitat type âBog woodlandâ. These key habitats are affected by various disturbances, such as afforestation with non-native tree spec ...

Rebuilding and preserving hanging bogs, raised bogs and transitional mires including the neighbouring habitats in the Hunsrueck and Eifel regions (Rhineland-Palatinate) (Hang- und Hoochmoore)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
Background
Bogs host a variety of specific plant communities and species typical for bog habitats. The conservation status of bogs in the Hunsrück and Eifel area has severely declined in recent years as a result of anthropogenic interference and suspended use. At the same time animal and plant species associated with bogs have become rare. Therefore ther ...

Conservation and regeneration of Nardus Grasslands in Central Europe (Borstgrasrasen)
Start date: Oct 1, 2006, End date: Sep 30, 2010,
Background
Nardus grasslands often rely on extensive land use techniques such as grazing and mowing. They mainly occur in landscapes with silicate parent rock and until 50 years ago were numerous and widespread in Central Europe. However, as a result of intensification trends in agriculture and wider coverage of forestry, over 90% of Europeâs Nardus gra ...

Restoration and conservation of xeric grasslands in Germany (Rheinland-Pfalz) (Trockenrasen Deutschland R-Pf)
Start date: Apr 1, 2002, End date: Mar 31, 2006,
Background
Dry grasslands are among the most species-rich habitats, home to rare and endangered species of orchid, bird, and butterfly. Unfortunately, they are also some of the most endangered habitat types in Europe, having been pushed back to isolated residual areas as a result of considerable loss of surface and the abandonment of cultivation.
The war ...
