RESTORATION OF AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS IN PROTECTED AREAS IN THE ALPS AND PYRENEES

Planell de Sartari

The site is located inside the SCI Alt Pallars, in the central-eastern Pyrenees between the Aran Valley and Andorra. Planell de Sartari is a priority habitat, as it is an active raised bog and also it is a species-rich nardus grassland priority habitat.

The area of the habitat has declined in recent decades due to the intensification of agricultural practices on the one hand, and land abandonment and too low intensity of use on the other. Effective conservation actions are being set up in the locations selected, including setting a system of livestock fencing and active restauration of selected species under threat.

  • Target HCI:

6230*: Species-rich Nardus grasslands, on siliceous substrates in mountain areas.

7110*: Active raised bogs
