About the project:
The project TransPlant – Integral cross-border conservation of Natura 2000 plant species is aimed at the preparation of conservation guidelines and measures for three Natura 2000 plant species: Cerastium dinaricum, Arabis scopoliana and Klasea lycopifolia. These species thrive in the cross-border area between Slovenia and Croatia, and for their long-term preservation there is a need to provide common conservation strategies based on active in-situ and ex-situ conservation measures, knowledge of the distribution of the species and understanding of the impact of climate change in the future. In doing so, we will focus on knowledge of biology, population genetics and the reproductive biology of populations. We will develop the strategy in cooperation with stakeholders, i.e. users of the space and the wider public. The project, which will be led by the Natural History Museum of Rijeka, was prepared in cooperation with eight partners from Slovenia (Škocjanske Jame Regional Park, University of Primorska, Institute of the Republic of Slovenia for Nature Conservation, Scientific Research Center of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts) and Croatia (Natural History Museum Reka – leading partner, Istrska County, Matulji Municipality, Risnjak National Park).
