The Provincial Deputation of Soria will assume the LIFE Ricotí Project granted by the European Commission this Wednesday, which will use 3, 5 million euros, 75% of this amount comes from the European funding, for the conservation and the improvement of the Dupont’s lark populations in the southern part of the Province of Soria.
This Wednesday, the European Commission gave the Provincial Deputation of Soria the licence for the LIFE Ricotí Project that is intended to work on the conservation and the improvement of the Dupont’s lark (Chersophilus duponti) populations in the southern part of Soria, which implies taking proper action on 15% of the species population in Europe.
The public presentation of the LIFE Ricotí Project “Conservation of the Dupont’s lark and its habitat in Soria” took place in the Ducal Palace of Medinaceli, during which the most relevant aspects of the project have been shared with the main stakeholders involved: mayors of the area, NGOs and scientific institutions, among others.
The purpose of the project is to reverse negative trends of the Dupont’s lark (“Chersophilus duponti”), a bird seriously threatened, by managing its habitat, promoting traditional farming methods and working with local entities.
