Presentation of the project “Mosaic of LIFE”
The first public presentation of the project “Mosaic of LIFE” will be held at the Krka Eco Campus in Puljane on Tuesday, 28 October 2025, starting at 10 am
The mosaic of Mediterranean landscapes was formed over a millennium of the presence of people and their livestock in this karst area. This is an intertwining of the cultural heritage and an area exceptionally rich in biological diversity, which is becoming increasingly threatened by reductions in traditional agriculture and animal husbandry, and the consequent overgrowth of grasslands and agricultural land.
It is this unique natural and cultural heritage that is the focus of the five-year project entitled “Mosaic of LIFE”, launched by the Biom Society and partners. Over the next five years, restoration activities will be conducted on at least 560 hectares of grasslands, with improved management on an additional 1020 hectares. Habitat restoration includes the mechanical removal of woody vegetation, controlled and supervised burning, and most importantly, promotion of traditional grazing practices. The livestock that has grazed here for centuries are most responsible for creating and maintaining this unique landscape.
The introductory part of the presentation includes words of welcome from the organisers and partners, with a detailed presentation of the project, focusing on planned activities and expected results. This will be followed by a panel discussion with project partners, during which participants can exchange experiences and discuss opportunities for cooperation and the application of project results in practice. The presentation will conclude with a reception at the Krka Eco Campus.
The presentation is intended for representatives of the local community, institutions, farmers, scientists, and everyone interested in topics of natural conservation and sustainable development.
