Results

Roughly 150 places of spawning have been developed in the partner countries.

13 hectares of former dry country have been flooded again.

50 overwintering places were made for the fire bellied toad near their places of spawning.

In Germany and Denmark fences were built in order to optimise the habitat of the toads. Within the fenced in areas cattle are kept in order to keep the vegetation as toads like it.

In Denmark the tadpole eating fish were taken out of some of the toad ponds.

An extensive programme was established for rearing over 5.000 tadpoles, won out from 8.000 eggs, with the goal to release them.

Many interested people have taken part on guided tours in the project areas. The public interest has been awakened not only thanks to the 1st European Bombina Song Contest.
