Cross-border cooperation and ecosystem services in the long-term conservation of large carnivore populations in the northern Dinarides

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A Slovenia - Croatia

Date of latest update: 2025-01-22

Description

Description (EN):

Carnivora Dinarica aims to improve conservation status of large carnivores (LCs=lynx, wolf, and bear) in the Natura 2000 areas Javorniki-Snežnik, Notranjski trikotnik and Gorski kotar i S. Lika. This unique landscape of countinuous transboundary forests in Central Europe is shared by appr. 20 lynx, 50 wolves and 600 bears. Their long-term conservation is vital for preservation of biodiversity and ecosystems in the SI-HR area. Therefore, the project focuses on 3 common CHALLENGES: i)concretization of strategies and mending of gaps in CB management of LCs; ii)mitigation of threats to LCs, especially the increasing pressure of humans, (traffic mortality, agricultural damages, habitat fragmentation), and iii)(mis)understanding of the roles of LCs in ecosystems. As a contrast to previous projects, Carnivora Dinarica will, for the first time, address these issues systematically, complementary to national/EU policies, and especially through transfer of knowledge from research to practice at the local level. The measures are designed to ensure transferability and durability after the project is completed. THE PROJECT WILL: - IMPROVE TRANSBOUNDARY MANAGEMENT OF LCs through harmonisation of measures for wolf and lynx, a better understanding of threats to habitat connectivity, and of ecosystem services, and strengthening of collaboration between institutions from both countries; - DECREASE THREATS TO LCs through 10 demo-activities, such as a best-practice farm, damage prevention fences, sheep dogs, installation of active signalization, young lynx rehabilitation area, bear-resistant bins, visitors management measures in the NP Risnjak, Snežnik and Kolpa areas and creation of a Centre for visitor management and awareness raising about LCs in Pivka; - STRENGTHEN COMPETENCE, KNOWLEDGE AND AWARENESS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE AND WAYS OF COEXISTENCE BETWEEN HUMANS AND LCs through training of over 280 national and local stakeholders and residents of conflict areas.

Description (SL):

Carnivora Dinarica je NAMENjena izboljšanju varstvenega stanja velikih zveri (VZ=ris, volk in medved) na Natura 2000 območjih Javorniki -Snežnik, Notranjski trikotnik in Gorski kotar in Sjeverna Lika. Gre za edinstveno sklenjeno čezmejno gozdno območje v Srednji Evropi, kjer na istem prostoru migrira še cca 20 risov, 50 volkov in 600 medvedov. Ohranjanje njihove dolgoročne prisotnosti je pomembno za biodiverziteto in ekosistem čezmejnega prostora SI-HR, zato se projekt osredotoča na tri skupne IZZIVE: i) konkretizacija strategij in odpravljanje vrzeli v čezmejnem upravljanju velikih zveri; ii) zmanjšanje tveganj, ki ogrožajo zveri, predvsem rastočega pritiska človeka (promet, škode v kmetijstvu in fragmentacija habitatov), in iii) (ne)razumevanje ekosistemskih vlog zveri. Carnivora Dinarica v primerjavi s predhodnimi projekti tematiko prvič obravnava sistematično in celovito, skladno z nacionalnim in EU politikam ter predvsem s prenosom znanj od raziskovalnih partnerjev v lokalno prakso. Ukrepi bodo zagotavljali prenosljivost in trajnost po zaključku projekta. PROJEKT BO: - IZBOLJŠAL ČEZMEJNO UPRAVLJANJE ZVERI s harmonizacijo ukrepov za volka in risa, z boljšim poznavanjem groženj 'povezljivosti' habitatov, ekosistemskih storitev in okrepljenim sodelovanjem ustanov iz obeh držav; - ZMANJŠAL TVEGANJA, KI OGROŽAJO VELIKE ZVERI z 10 demonstracijskimi aktivnostmi kot so kmetija dobrih praks, ograje za preprečevanje škod, pastirski psi, dinamična signalizacija za prometnice, obora za osirotele risje mladiče, medovarni smetnjaki, ukrepi za usmerjanje obiska na območjih NP Risnjak, Snežnika in ob delu Kolpe ter vzpostavitev središča za usmerjanje in ozaveščanje o velikih zvereh v Pivki; - OKREPIL SPOSOBNOSTI, ZNANJA IN ZAVEDANJE O POMENU IN NAČINIH SOBIVANJA ČLOVEKA IN VELIKIH ZVERI prek usposabljanj 280 nacionalnih in lokalnih deležnikov ter prebivalcev konfliktnih območij.

Description (HR):

Carnivora Dinarica NAMIJENjena je poboljšanju stanja očuvanosti velikih zvijeri (VZ=ris, vuk i medvjed) na područjima Natura 2000 Javorniki-Snežnik, Notranjski trikotnik, Gorski kotar i Sjeverna Lika. Radi se o jedinstvenom zaključenom prekograničnom šumskom području u Srednjoj Europi, gdje na istom području migrira još oko 20 risova, 50 vukova i 600 medvjeda. Očuvanje njihove dugoročne prisutnosti značajno je za biološku raznolikost i ekosustav prekograničnog područja SI-HR, stoga se projekt usredotočuje na tri zajednička IZAZOVA: i) konkretizacija strategija i uklanjanja nedostataka u prekograničnom upravljanju velikim zvijerima; ii) smanjenje rizika koji ugrožavaju zvijeri, posebno rastućeg pritiska ljudi (promet, štete u poljoprivredi i fragmentacija staništa) te iii) (ne)razumijevanje uloga zvijeri u ekosustavu. Carnivora Dinarica u usporedbi s prethodnim projektima prva razmatra tematiku sustavno i cjelovito, sukladno nacionalnim i EU politikama s naglaskom na prijenos znanja od istraživačkih partnera u lokalnu praksu. Mjere će osiguravati prenosivost i održivost nakon završetka projekta. PROJEKT ĆE: - POBOLJŠATI PREKOGRANIČNO UPRAVLJANJE ZVIJERIMA harmonizacijom mjera za vuka i risa, boljim poznavanjem opasnosti 'povezanosti' staništa, usluga ekosustava i većim sudjelovanjem institucija iz obje države; - SMANJITI RIZIKE KOJI UGROŽAVAJU VELIKE ZVIJERI s 10 demonstracijskih aktivnosti kao što su farma dobre prakse, ograde za sprečavanje šteta, pastirski psi, aktivna signalizacija za prometnice, ograda za risje mladunce siročad, kante zaštićene od medvjeda, mjere za usmjeravanje posjeta na područjima NP Risnjak, Snežnik i na djelu Kupe te osnivanje centra za usmjeravanje i podizanje svijesti o velikim zvijerima u Pivki; - JAČATI SPOSOBNOSTI, EDUKACIJU I SVIJEST O VAŽNOSTI I NAČINIMA SUŽIVOTA ČOVJEKA I VELIKIH ZVIJERI kroz osposobljavanje 280 nacionalnih i lokalnih dionika i stanovnika u konfliktnim područjima.
