The concerted and systematic collaboration of scientific disciplines, state authorities, and the public is indispensable for the conservation of endangered species. Species Action Plans serve precisely this purpose, outlining the threatening factors and the objectives and measures of the action program implemented for their protection.

As part of the Grassland-HU LIFE integrated project, the publication “Grassland Subsidy Opportunities in the Light of the Common Agricultural Policy 2021-2027” was published by the National Chamber of Agriculture. The document is available online (see below)and on the Chamber’s website.
