    Žuvintas Biosphere Reserve Action Plan Baltic Environmental Forum Lithuania Elvyra Mikšytė, Justas Gulbinas, Audronė Alijošiutė - Paulauskienė 1. Case Area Description The Dovinė River Catchment covers an area of approximately 588.7 km2 and is located in the southern part of Lithuania (see Figure 1). The basin is one of the small catchment areas of the larger Neman river basin, which covers around 75% of the territory of Lithuania and is the 4th river basin in size in the whole Baltic Sea Region. The Dovinė river catchment is located in the southern Lithuania (see Figure 2) and consists of a network of rivers and water bodies formed by five big lakes (Dusia 23,3 km2, Zuvintas 9,3 km2, Figure 1. Location of Dovinė Catchment area. Simnas 2,4 km2, Giluitis 2,4 km2, Amalvas 1,9 Source: Nature Heritage Fund km2) and a number of rivulets and small lakes (see Annex 1). Within the borders of the basin lies one of the oldest and most unique protected areas of Lithuania – Žuvintas Biosphere Reserve. The reserve lies in the junction of three municipalities (Alytus district municipality, Lazdijai district municipality and Marijampolė municipality). This one of the most valuable Natura 2000 territories in the country hosts valuable habitats for biodiversity, breeding and feeding areas for protected species, especially migratory birds (see Figure 2).

  • "The Trails of Pilgrims Lithuania - Poland "The Trails of Pilgrims Lithuania - Poland
    "The trails of pilgrims Lithuania - Poland” "The trails of pilgrims Lithuania - Poland” Smalenai (Smalėnai) goes back to the middle of the 17th century. Back then, there stood a church. After the locality was bought by landlord Haberman, he provided for the construction of present Saint Isidore’s Church including an abbey in 1839. The church boasts one tower. Inside there are three altars: the main one displays the sculpture of the crucified Christ, the left side altar bears the picture of the Angelic Mother of God, covered by the painting depicting the Mother of God of Czestochowa. The right side altar has the pictures of Saint Isidore, the patron of farmers, and Saint Antony. In the yard of the Church there stands a chapel, built in 1846, in the vault of which the Haberman family was buried.

  • District Heating in Lusatia
    Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg District Heating in Lusatia Status Quo and Prospects for Climate Neutrality Fernwärme in der Lausitz Status quo und Perspektiven für Klimaneutralität Thesis for the degree of Master of Science in Environmental and Resource Management submitted by Jan Christian Bahnsen 1st Examiner: Prof. Dr. Bernd Hirschl 2nd Examiner: Katharina Heinbach Submitted: 29th May 2020 Statement of Authentication I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this master thesis and that I have not used any other sources other than those listed in the bibliography and identified as references. I further declare that I have not submitted this thesis at any other institution in order to obtain a degree. The content, either in full or in part, has not been previously submitted for grading at this or any other academic institution. ________________________________ _____________________________________ (Place, Date) (Signature) Abstract The master thesis at hand examines the potential of district heating in Lusatia. The thesis follows the approach of first identifying technical and economic potentials in general and then transferring them to the study region. For the quantitative determination of district heating potential in Lusatia, the status quo is determined and a GIS-based analysis is carried out with regard to minimum heat demand densities. The extent to which district heating is suitable for climate-neutral heat supply will be investigated using the potential of renewable and waste heat energy sources. Furthermore, the regional economic effects of developing these potentials are examined. The results show that despite an overall decline in heat demand, there is potential to increase the relative share of district heating in Lusatia.

  • Pdfats 2011 Role of Rangers in Natura
    Study visit 2012 Report to the Alfred Toepfer Nature Heritage Scholarship Tünde Ludnai, Kiskunság NP Directorate, Hungary Application reference no.: ATS-2009-1305884996 Main theme: Biodiversity Project title: Role of Rangers in Natura 2000 site management 1. Rationale Management of Natura 2000 sites is a hot topic all over the European Union, since the implementation and enforcement of the two nature directives in the Member States is more and more controlled and criticized by the European Commission (EC), supported by many European Court decisions, as well as by NGO movements. Following the more or less successful designation of Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) under the Habitats Directive, the Commission puts more and more emphasis on the management issues of Natura 2000 sites including the conservation priorities and measures applied, as well as site management plan preparations and their implementation in the practice. Protected area managers and park ranger services have a lot of experience in the field of in situ – meaning not theoretic - nature management in order to ensure the favourable conservation status of nationally protected species and habitats, but also of those of community importance, listed in the different annexes of the two nature directives. A more effective use of this extended knowledge and experience can be a key tool in the process of ensuring the appropriate protection of the rich and wonderful biodiversity of the old continent. Rangers - working for most of their time in the field, meeting farmers, hunters, foresters, and other stakeholders day to day - have an extremely important role not only in the management of nationally protected areas, but also in that of Natura 2000 sites.
