Realisation:
January 1997 - June 2002
The Federsee fen, which includes a central lake surrounded by large areas of moorland, is classified by the EU´s Wild Birds Directive 79/409 as well as the Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive 92/43 (habitats directive) as a special-protection region. The region (3,300 ha) is of special interest because of its great variety of habitats, animal and plant species, some of them classified of primary importance. Nevertheless, it is severely damaged and drained in some locations.
The aim of the LIFE project was to protect and develop this area and even reestablish its habitat function. This was realised on the basis an integrated concept.
Essential aims:
 | develop a plan for maintenance and development of the area
|  |  | rehabilitate the balance of moorwaters in order to restore typical moor habitats, e.g. sedge
|  |  | meadows, as habitats for meadow breeding birds
|  |  | preserve the peat strata, thereby protecting the very rich archaeological findings from Early Stone Age sites to Bronze Age settlement systems
|  |  | acquire land in the zones of main interest to ensure preservation
|  |  | preserve and conserve the open moor landscape by adopting ecologically moderate, extensive agricultural methods
|  |  | intensify public awareness in order to make inhabitants and visitors more sensitive to this unique landscape which is an important economic factor for tourism
