Extensively managed grasslands and pastures, along with wetlands, are among the most threatened habitats in open landscapes. They are not only central to sustainable agriculture but also provide numerous ecosystem services, such as healthy soils, CO₂ storage, and clean water, and are part of a diverse cultural landscape. At the same time, species-rich grasslands are home to a multitude of specialized plants and provide a 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 financial support from the Ministry of the Environment, Climate, and Biodiversity.
