One three-day training for farmers, will have a main topic related to adapting and adjusting agricultural management practices on arable and grazing land to favour the conservation of priority species on agricultural land, including Lesser Spotted Eagle.
The scope of the trainings will include explanation of the biological and ecological characteristics and requirements of the target species, as well as good practices for habitats management, and will present and discuss mechanisms for their implementation as well as ways to deal with challenges and difficulties. In addition to theoretical sessions and discussions, the training will include field visits.
