Description
The Burgenland Species and Habitat Protection Program supports private individuals, companies, non-profit organizations, and public institutions in the conservation and restoration of endangered wild plant and animal species and their natural habitats in Burgenland. The goal is the implementation of the Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive (92/43/EEC) through investment measures, leasing, land acquisition, or compensation for usage rights. With a funding rate of up to 100%, all eligible expenses, including personnel as well as financing and material costs, are covered up to a maximum of €100,000 per applicant within three years. Projects have a maximum duration of 36 months and are continuously approved until the budget is exhausted.
For a successful application, a written request on the prescribed form, a professional statement from the responsible department for nature and environmental protection, and a detailed schedule and financing plan are required. In addition, evidence of public aid received in the last three years must be attached. The decision is based on compliance with the program objectives, completeness of the documentation, and the long-term impact of the planned measures. Applicants commit to conducting local information and monitoring activities and to demonstrating compliance with the funding conditions. This funding offers a valuable opportunity to realize joint efforts by municipalities, landowners, hunting and fishing rights holders, as well as research institutions for the sustainable preservation of biodiversity in Burgenland.
