Description
LIFE Nature & Biodiversity projects support the implementation of the Birds and Habitats directives and the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020. The 39 projects selected for funding will be carried out by partnerships of conservation bodies, government authorities and other parties located across 19 Member States. The projects involve a total investment of €158.1 million, of which the Commission is providing action grants worth €95.6 million. Projects will help conserve a wide range of threatened habitats, including rivers, wetlands, forests, meadows and bogs. Protected insects, molluscs, amphibians, birds and mammals will all benefit from LIFE’s investment, which also helps safeguard the ecosystem services provided by Europe’s natural capital.
