At 7-9th of November we co-organized several meetings concerning Protection Plans for the following Natura 2000 sites: "Stawska Góra", "Żurawce", "Niedzieliska" and "Kąty". These sites are covered in the LIFE + project conducted by us. The meetings were organized by Małgorzata Polkowska (Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection in Lublin), Katarzyna Barańska (Naturalists Club) and two local experts from Lublin region (Anna Cwener, Piotr Chmielewski). During the meetings we presented general assumptions of the Natura 2000 network as well as on the LIFE + project. At the more local scale we presented actual knowledge on the aims of protection of the four sites and threats for the biodiversity conservation in these sites. Next, these topics were discussed in details with other participants of the meeting: local farmers and landowners, representatives on National Forest Holding, Roztocze Landscape Park, non-government organisations and others. Another set of meetings is planned for the beginning of December.
