Cross-border control and environmental education facility for the Lower Inn protected areas

The habitats at the Lower Inn are among the most important breeding, resting, wintering and moulting areas in Central Europe. The project builds on stepwise, cross-border, coordinated management for protected areas. The project aims to create standards to ensure support quantitatively (all year round) and extend it to all NATURA 2000 aspects (river dynamics, floodplains, burning, waste water, etc.). Supervised area is increased from 19.55 km ² by 11.04 km ² to 30.59 km ². The long-term corss-border care should be ensured by drawing up a cross-border cooperation agreement for nature conservation project management on the basis of management plans, findings of the LIFE project Unterer Inn, current developments and involving the relevant actors. It defines the type of cooperation, the coordination of the management of protected areas, joint research and action. The establishment of a cross-border control center for nature conservation activities and as an environmental education institution for the integration of the population it follows a superordinate overall perspective with permanent care of all protected areas for the preservation and further development of biodiversity at the Lower Inn.
