Description:
The project aimed to restore and improve the network of small valley-bottom wetlands in Trento. It sought to integrate and complete two previous LIFE Projects in the same region - "NIBBIO" and "NECTON" - building on their experiences. It planned to acquire land and carry out restoration work on the wetlands and riverine vegetation. Canals were to be renaturalised and new wetland areas created. It also foresaw the designation of new Special Protection Areas for birds to foster the recovery and improvement of the wetlands. The project envisaged the drawing up of an action plan for the future management of the wetlands using the experience gained over ten years by the Province of Trento in the management of Alpine wetland areas. Efforts would be made to reduce the impact of human activity by improving existing agricultural practices. These efforts would be accompanied by information and publicity campaigns addressed at the local population to increase their awareness of the importance of the wetlands.
