Project Results

Throughout the seven years of the project, we will communicate our progress on an ongoing basis. At this early stage, we are pleased to report that we have assembled a team of exceptionally dedicated experts who have already proven their expertise in previous projects on this topic and who were involved in drafting the grant proposal. Preparatory work is currently underway to lay the groundwork for the conservation and expansion of the European ground squirrel population.

We will appreciate it if you check back here from time to time to see what is new – we will also share updates on social media and in the press.
