Socioeconomic effects in SemiAquatic Life

This report presents socioeconomic effects provided by the actions conducted within the Life project “SemiAquatic Life - Recreating habitat complexity for semi-aquatic fauna”. The project has been running between 2016-2021 with the aim of restoring and improving the conservation status of amphibians, reptiles, and aquatic insects in Natura 2000 areas in southern Sweden (11 areas), Denmark (15 areas), and northern Germany (9 areas). The aims of the project have been to ensure viable metapopulations of species listed in Annex II-V of the EU Species and Habitats Directive, but also to increase public awareness and understanding of the need for restoration measures for semi-aquatic insects, amphibians, and reptiles.
