- reducing the limiting factors that cause extinction or decrease of populations;
- securing the conservation of species’ habitats;
- implementing monitoring of the populations of rare species;
- developing Plans and Strategies for the conservation of species;
- improving the legislation related to conservation of species;
- building capacities for biodiversity conservation and research;
- supporting the control exerted by the responsible institutions over the threats caused by various infringements;
- implementing education and information activities, aimed at raising the environmental awareness of the public and providing support for nature conservation.
