Extensively managed meadows and pastures are, along with wetlands, among the most threatened habitats in open landscapes. They are not only at the heart of sustainable agriculture, but also provide numerous ecosystem services, such as healthy soils, CO2 storage, clean water, and are part of a diversified cultural landscape. At the same time, species-rich meadows are home to a multitude of specialized plants and constitute the livelihood and habitat for countless animal species.
The conservation, enhancement, and restoration of species-rich meadows and pastures is therefore among the priority objectives of Luxembourg’s nature conservation policy (PNPN3) and European nature conservation policy (Nature Restoration Regulation).
The Foundation’s grassland project is putting these objectives into practice on the Foundation’s land in the Gutland region.
With the financial support of the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity.
