HNPI (2009): Complex habitat rehabilitation of the Central-Bereg Plain, N-E Hungary. LIFE04 NAT/HU/000118 Technical Final Report. Hortobágyi Nemzeti Park Directorate, Debrecen, pp. 67.

The main objective of our project was to preserve the unique habitats of the Central-Bereg Plain, as well Sphagnum bogs and mires, forest communities (riparian mixed forest, Pannonic woods), wooded pastures, and pastures which have important landscape value and are habitats of rare plant and animal species too.

Direct aims:
• Improvement of the water regime of the bogs (more water, more well-balanced water movement).
• Improvement of the microclimate of the bogs (cooler, more humid microclimate). Complex improvement of the status of other typical habitats of the Bereg (forests, abandoned riverbeds, pastures).

Indirect aims
• To make the wider region/neighborhood of the bogs more natural.
• Complex rehabilitation of the region, which can be the base for ecotouristic development.
• Improvement of sylviculture possibilities.
• Improvement of the possibilities for traditional agriculture.

Altogether 24 actions were carried out within the framework of the project. 14 of them were about maintaining the nature conservation aims, 5 were about keeping in contact with colleagues dealing with similar problems, and about informing the public in the region and in Hungary. 5 further actions were achieved for preparing and supporting these actions.
