Paper doi abstract bibtex Læsø is an island community located off northern Denmark, and it is the smallest municipality in the country. It has a diverse mosaic of open landscape, traditionally managed through grazing, which provides habitat to a large array of threatened and endangered bird species. Farmers and landowners have been abandoning this traditional practice as it became increasingly difficult to derive a livelihood from it, and the landscape and habitat quality has suffered as a result. Much of the island is designated under Natura 2000, a legally binding nature protection mechanism of the EU. These areas must be managed for the preservation of habitats and the protection of specific species living there, which is particularly challenging on Læsø due to a complex and fragmented landownership structure: 4,000 ha of land is divided into 1,758 individual plots, 59 per cent of which are owned by 335 individuals, some of which do not live on the island, and 41 per cent by the Danish Nature Agency. Funding was secured for a five-year management and restoration project through EU Life, a funding instrument for the environment, nature and climate from the European Commission. The project is co-ordinated by the Danish Nature Agency, and the municipality of Læsø is a partner. Aims The objectives of this project are to enable both the restoration of degraded land on Læsø and to ensure that endangered bird species have a habitat in which they can thrive. A key aspect of this is to have the entire protected area on the island under one management plan, meaning the establishment of a structure which brings landowners and the Danish Nature Agency into an agreement. How It Works The approach of this project follows several complimentary strategies. The first centres on the restoration of habitat through clearance of overgrown land that was once meadows, removal of non-native conifers and invasive plant species, and burning of heathlands to promote growth. In cooperation with local hunters, the project also works on the eradication of mink and the control of foxes and crows which have been predating on bird populations. Biological monitoring of bird populations and of habitats has also been established. © Cambridge University Press 2017.
