Conserving mires in the European Union. Actions co-financed by LIFE-Nature

This report gives an overview of the projects co-financed for mire conservation under LIFE. It starts by describing the 13 mire habitat types covered under the Habitat Directive, looks at the principal threats identified through the projects and provides a country-by-country summary of what has been funded so far. It then goes on to present the main actions used to combat these threats, using a wide selection of real-LIFE examples from the projects themselves to illustrate this.
