| Project name: | LIFE Lynx - "Preventing the extinction of the Dinaric-SE Alpine lynx population through reinforcement and long-term conservation" within LIFE programme | | Project logo: | https://www.lifelynx.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/LOGO-WWW.png | | Description: | LIFE Lynx project’s primary objective is rescuing the Dinaric-SE Alpine lynx population from extinction and to preserve it in the long term. Currently, the population is small, isolated, and extremely inbred. It urgently needs reinforcement by introducing additional, healthy animals from another population. We will reinforce the Dinaric-SE Alpine population with lynx from the viable source population in the Carpathians, while maintaining high public support. We will collaborate across all EU countries sharing this population to develop and implement a systematic approach to ensure long-term viability of the reinforced population. We will work closely with core stakeholders to further develop partnerships and to ensure broad public acceptance of lynx conservation. We aim to develop science-based management tools for strategic planning to ensure long-term viability of lynx. These include using computer modelling based on data from the project to understand how to genetically and demographically manage the population for the long term. This scientific information will be incorporated into management plans and other strategic documents. Another objective is to improve population connectivity for lynx. Natural gene flow of lynx within this population will be increased, in order to avoid additional reintroductions in the future. Such a metapopulation will help reduce negative impacts of habitat fragmentation and will reverse genetic deterioration across entire Dinaric-SE Alpine population. | | Project holder: | Slovenian Forest Service | | Project partners: | Karlovac University of Applied Sciences (Croatia), Biom Association (Croatia), Veterinary Faculty Zagreb (Croatia), Association for the Biological Diversity Conservation (Romania), Arma dei carabinieri - Comando Unità Tutela Forestale, Ambientale e Agroalimentare (Italy), University in Ljubljana (Slovenia), Slovenian Hunting Association (Slovenia), Italian Lynx Project (Italy), Technical university in Zvolen (Slovakia), Slovenian State Department for Nature Conservation (Slovenia) | | Project value: | 6.829.377,00 EUR, of which 113.740,00 EUR is the budget of Karlovac University of Applied Sciences | | Source of financing: | EU Life programme | | Project status: | Active | | Start date: | 01.07.2017. | | End date: | 31.03.2024. | | Disclaimer: | The content of this website is the sole responsibility of the Karlovac University of Applied Sciences | | Project website: | https://www.lifelynx.eu/ |

| 3. | New Skills to Employment | |
|
| Project name: | New Skills to Employment | | Description: | The aim of the project is to strengthen the personal and professional competencies of 48 vulnerable groups in the labor market from Sisak-Moslavina and Karlovac County, through inclusion in two new and innovative adult education programs: Food Processor and Contributor on Design and Implementation of EU projects, through the organization and implementation of employment clubs, and other tailor-made education aimed at increasing employment in line with the goals of local human resource development strategies. Target group members and members of the employment clubs will further develop work, communication, social and other skills with a view to facilitating their inclusion on the labor market. The organization of employment clubs is the foundation for institutional project sustainability, which will facilitate the linkage with employers and establish a positive co-operation with local entrepreneurs and public institutions. The project team, external collaborators and project partners will transfer their own specific knowledge and knowledge on entrepreneurship, food processing technology, use and implementation of EU funded projects. This project will achieve empowerment and motivation of the target group, as well as vulnerable groups for activation and entry into the labor market. EU funds invested in this project will bring new opportunities for employment and self-employment in the labor market of both counties and will strengthen the local economy through the following elements: * Labor market interventions * Promotion and visibility * Project management and administration. | | Project holder: | Karlovac University of Applied Sciences | | Project partners: | Public Open University Kutina, CES Karlovac, Development Agency MRAV LTD., ZUK-Karlovac, LAG Moslavina | | Project value: | 927.959,49 HRK | | Source of financing: | Project co-funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) | | Start date: | 14.05.2018. | | End date: | 14.11.2019. | | Disclaimer: | The content of this website is the sole responsibility of the Karlovac University of Applied Sciences |

|
| Project name: | MEASURES - Managing and restoring aquatic EcologicAl corridors for migratory fiSh species in the danUbe RivEr baSin | | Project logo: |  | | Description: | Sturgeons and other migratory fish species represent a historic, economic and natural heritage of the Danube River Basin and are indicators of the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems, especially of the functionality of ecological corridors. Their populations have suffered substantially from overfishing, pollution, habitat destruction and disruption of their migration routes. The need for their conservation is recognized at a high political and management level (EUSDR-PA 06, Biodiversity, DRBMP). Habitat fragmentation, as well as the lack of comprehensive knowledge on available habitats for migratory fish and on genetic diversity impede the restoration of migration corridors, vital to secure migratory fish on the long run. Concerted transnational management of these corridors and actions for their restoration as well as supportive conservation stocking of native species is highly needed. MEASURES will pave the way for the establishment of ecological corridors through identifying key habitats and initiating protective measures along the Danube and its main tributaries. A methodology for migratory fish habitat mapping will be developed and tested. A harmonized strategy (including prioritization) for the restoration of ecological corridors will be developed and will support implementation in future management plans. Two pilot actions are envisaged: (1) identify and map key habitats, (2) restocking of two native species to conserve their genetic pool. A network for concerted restocking of targeted species will be established, as well as a manual for the operation of broodstock facilities. A MEASURES Information System will be created to facilitate access to information for experts, decision makers and the general public. Concrete input into the next drafts of policy- and management plans (e.g. river basin- and flood risk management plans) will secure the translation of project outcomes into sustainable management of relevant sites restoring ecological corridors. | | Project value: | 2.512.931,08 EUR | | Source of financing: | Programme co-funded by European Union funds (ERDF, IPA, ENI). | | Project status: | Active | | Start date: | 01.06.2018. | | End date: | 31.05.2021. | | Disclaimer: | The information and views set out in this subsection of project partner website are those of the author(s) (DTP project Lead Partners and partners) and do not necessarily reflect the official opinion of the European Union/Danube Transnational Programme.
