The project is aimed at the conservation of 6 plant species, 5 of them endemics. Besides this, 5 insect species and 3 dry grassland habitats are targeted by the project. Most of the species have a significantly decreasing population trend and urgent action is needed to halt it.

The project area includes 7 NATURA 2000 sites in Hungary and 17 in Slovakia, located in a contact zone of Alpine and Pannonian bioregions.

In the framework of this 5-year-long project – started in September 2013 – Duna-Ipoly National Park Directorate (DINPD) is directly aiming at the protection of the following priority habitat types: Sub-Pannonic steppic grasslands (6240), pannonic loess steppic grasslands (6250) and Pannonic sand steppes (6260).
