Summary

Nature protection is not very popular amongst farmers in Austria. Farmers tend to consider it as an obligation or a commitment without realising the importance of preserving nature and biodiversity. To address this situation project holders launched a campaign build around an online platform to promote and preserve the rich diversity in fauna and flora in rural landscapes in Austria.

Activities supported included the development and maintenance of the online platform; cooperation with stakeholders like the Austrian Chamber of Agriculture and identification of new partners; production of information papers and brochures, Public Relations, campaigning, holding events, workshops and awards, producing of signs to indicate outstanding areas, etc.
