Goals

Renaturalization of the Eggemoors

        Restoring the natural water cycle

Drainage of moors for agricultural or forestry usage results in the release of stored carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - this intensifies the greenhouse effect 

        Improvements of living conditions for rare animal and plant species

Target plant species: a.a. Sphagnum spec., Eriophorum angustifolium, Drosera rotundifolia

Target bird species: a.a. Lanius excubitor, Saxicola torquata, Anthus pratensis

All the species mentioned above depend on habitats restored and improved by the Life+ project Eggemoors.

        Contribution to climate protection

An intact moore can store more than 5 tons of carbon dioxide per hectar per year - by restoring the ecosystem of the Eggemoors our project does contribute significantly to protecting our climate.
