Get to know Slovenian LIFE projects

There are nine ongoing projects in Slovenia. Seven projects fall under the LIFE+ Nature and Biodiversity component. These projects focus on the conservation/management/restoration of habitats (freshwater wetlands, the Natura 2000 site of Sečovlje salina, the Ljubljanica River corridor and the lower Drava river) and species (nocturnal animals such as moths and bats, Mediterranean shag, wolf). Two projects aim to disseminate information and raise the profile of environmental issues (project Rebirth is seeking to increase and improve the recycling of industrial and construction/demolition waste for use in the construction sector whereas the project Aquaviva aims at improving public awareness in Slovenia about the importance of protecting and conserving freshwater ecosystems).
