Budget: 983 725,00 EUR
The Ecohydrological Restoration of Peatlands in the Carpathians benefits from a € 983 725,00 grant from Norway through the Norway Grants. The project has been co-financed from the State Budget of the Slovak Republic in the amount of 147 593,00 €. The aim of the project is to reduce CO2 emissions by restoring degraded peatlands and regenerating their function as carbon sinks. The project will deal with restoration of 12 peatland sites in Slovakia to stop their degradation by realisation of well targeted hydrological restoration measures and applying climate-responsible peatland management on area 352.18 ha (3,521,800 m2). Pilot sites will be used for demonstration of best-practice peatland management to relevant stakeholders on local and national scale. Best-practice guidelines for sustainable management of forested peatlands on local and national level will be prepared on the basis of its testing on project sites. Awareness about peatland related climate change mitigation and adaptation measures will be increased. Working with and involving relevant local stakeholders and local communities will ensure the long-term sustainability of the project.
