The project proposal provides for the implementation of activities to improve the conservation status of animal species reported in an “unfavourable — unsatisfactory” status in 2013 in accordance with Article 17 of the Habitats Directive. This is also the main objective of the project proposal. The following specific objectives are set to achieve it: Specific Objective 1: Improvement of the conservation status of species that have not been identified in the field studies carried out under the project “Mapping and determining the conservation status of natural habitats and species — phase 1” by providing information on the distribution and assessments of their status, allowing the development of specific measures.Specific objective 2: Reduction/removal of negatively affecting factors (threats and influences) on species reported in “unfavourable and unsatisfactory” status in the field studies carried out under the project “Mapping and determining the conservation status of natural habitats and species — phase 1” through implementation of direct conservation activities.Specific objective 3: Improvement of the conservation status of the target species included in the project by involving stakeholders and familiarising them with the measures necessary for this purpose. It is envisaged that the implementation of the project will take place in all Natura 2000 sites under the Habitats Directive, falling within the territorial scope of the Local Action Group (LAG) Tutrakan-Slivo Pole, namely: BG0000168 Ludogorie Act; ZZ BG0000171 ‘Loogorie-Bobla’, ZZ BG0000180 ‘Bobla’ and ‘Marten-Ryahovo’ ZZ BG0000529.
