Large scale grazing management of steppe lakes in the Hortobágy (Steppe lake grazing)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Jul 1, 2020,
Background
Salt-affected soils started to form in the Hortobágy area in the Pleistocene era as mineral-rich sediments were deposited by two rivers. Later the area was cut off by the river Tisza and prolonged dry periods became normal. Since that time, large ungulates have been continuously present in the area, and thus a grass-dominated landscape with Pa ...

Restoration and conservation of the Pannonic salt steppes of Pásztó grassland with sustainable management (Pásztó habitat restoration)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,
Background
The project will target priority habitats listed in Annex I of the Habitats Directive, namely, Pannonic salt steppes and salt marshes. The salinity of the target area is increasing due to a drainage system. As water away is removed from the surface, water from deeper layers also evaporates. These habitat types are partly of natural origin and p ...

Restoration of sodic lake sub-type of the Pannonic salt steppe and marsh habitat in the Hortobágy (HORTOBAGY SODIC LAKES)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
Background
The soda lakes (with high concentrations of sodium carbonate) and their catchment areas in Hungaryâs Carpathian Basin support lowland Pannonic loess steppic grasslands (6250). These form part of the habitat type Pannonic salt steppes and salt marshes (1530). Most of the lake and catchment sites in the Hortobágy area have been badly damaged o ...

Conservation of Falco cherrug in the Carpathian basin (Falco cherrug-Hu/SK)
Start date: Oct 1, 2006, End date: Sep 30, 2010,
Background
The Saker falcon (Falco cherrug) is a very rare and threatened species in Europe. The total European breeding population was, until recently, estimated at 450 pairs. Hungary and Slovakia hold about 40% of this population. Therefore, the conservation of the population in the Carpathian basin in these two countries was crucial to the survival of ...

Habitat management of Hortóbagy eco-region for bird protection (Habitats-Birds)
Start date: Jul 1, 2002, End date: Jun 30, 2006,
Background
Even though the Hortobagy National Park continues to be one of the best places to observe steppe and wetland birds in Central Europe, its conservation status is far from assured. Land use in the area has undergone many changes since World War II. As traditional steppe grazing disappeared, plans were made to convert the abandoned steppe into a v ...
