Life+: 2 new Irish approvals
The project approvals for the 2009 Life+ programme calls for proposals were announced by DG Environment on 23 July. Among the 210 approved projects are two Irish initiatives on Nature & Biodiversity project.
The Blackwater Samok project aims to bring about a sustained enhancement of the Upper (Munster) Blackwater Special Area of Conservation (SAC) by targeting the species of Freshwater pearl mussel, Atlantic salmon, European otter and kingfisher. This will involve carrying out actions aimed at restoring the quality of the river bed and riparian zone. The IRD Duhallow community-based Integrated Rural Development company has been provided with EU funding of EUR935,000 to work on this issue until 2014.
Meanwhile Coillte is to benefit from EUR1.29 million over the next 5 years to help restore wetland, peat-forming conditions on raised bogs by continuing the process of removing plantation forests. This builds upon the work carried out under a previous LIFE-funded project which was completed in December 2008.
