Our priority is of course to maintain the landscape in a state that provides a home for the widest possible spectrum of plants and animals. In cases where this is not successful, special measures come into play. Currently, we are running thirteen rescue programs and more than twenty regional action plans. Thanks to them, the Czech sand campion has not disappeared from our nature, and efforts are being made to increase the numbers of ground squirrels and tree snakes, and so on, the agency's director František Pelc reminded. #záchranaPřírody #zvonovec #genetickáDiverzita (translated)
