LIFE - Nature Conservation Agency of the Czech Republic
NCA implements LIFE´s environment sub-programme to support valuable natural area embedded in the Natura 2000 system. The loss of biodiversity is one of the up-to-date problem. So to actively protect non-forest habitats and species of European and national importance the appropriate management have to be implemented. To ensure the sustainability of restored areas the LIFE projects stress the importance of involvement of local farmers as well as the general public and their cooperation to gain the best results. All implemented projects are co-financed by the European Union´s LIFE programme/LIFE+ and by the Ministery of Environment.
NCA has been successfully implementing LIFE projects since 2011:
