Why focusing on Uc?

- Indicator, complex life-cycle…

- Uc-habitats not yet recognized (ie. semi-lentic habitats)

- Wide historical distribution rangein EU and Sweden…

- Few LIFE-projects targeting Uc

- FPM LIFE-project experiences

- Uc-Natura 2000 linkages…

A Flagship species

…Threatened…

Objectives

1) Strengthen the Uc-conservation status

2) Improve the ecological status of water-bodies

- Rimligt att alla partners delar kostnaden för PM…- Annonsering av tjänsten lämpligt…- Modellen prövad på LIFE-Kinnekulle…- NV-konsult tycker vi skall köra…

Genom denna modell belastar PM’s lönekostnad “hela projektet” och inte enbart CAB Skånes “lönepott”.
