Lessons, risks, implications
Key lessons
The project aims to preserve and enlarge populations of species listed in Annex I of the Birds Directive (birds typical for lowland rivers) and Annex II of the Habitats Directive (fishes and beetles) by managing alluvial forest habitats (Annex I, Habitats Directive) along the Lower Drava River in Slovenia. The project also aims to improve cooperation between the most important stakeholders along the river and to inform the public about the natural value of these Natura 2000 sites and the importance of their conservation.

Policy, general governance
Policy description
The natural habitats and dependent species have been deteriorating for decades due to the construction of hydro-power plants in the 1960s and 70s, which caused enormous changes in the natural dynamics of the river, the human pressure from uncontrolled recreational activities, winter hunting and greater public access to the most sensitive areas.
