Main goal of the project is conservation of the forest fauna refugium in Carpathian mountains (area of Podkarpackie Voivodeship) through determination and conservation of the existing ecological corridors, ensuring maintenance of environmental cohesion for animal population and improvement of knowledge and awareness of the authorities, habitants of the region on significance of the ecological corridors and their role and risks connected with civilization development and improper policy of human settlement expansion.

Because of the fact that it is impossible to consider concurrently requirements of all species of the forest fauna for which the occurrence of the migration corridors is of special significance, their determination will be based on monitoring of some selected indication species with especially high habitat requirements (so called umbrella species), i.e. predators (wolfs, lynxes, bears), hoofed animals (red deer, wild boars, bison, elks) and predatory birds (Aquila pomarina).

The goals assumed for the project shall be achieved with scheduled actions including:

1) verification and valorization of ecological corridors and recommendation to make them subject to conservation

The 1st assignment consists of 3 stages:

- formulation of criteria necessary to determine ecological corridors and determination of all existing corridors in the project area;

- verification and valorization of the existing corridors in terms of their spatial significance and genetic stability for population and real possibility to perform conservation for a long period of time;

- identification of lands not owned by the Treasury within the assigned corridors, in order that the Treasury acquires/leases/compensates/exchanges them in the future.

2)informative-educational actions. 

Whereas the 2nd assignment includes organization of: conferences, training courses, seminars, ecological competitions, study tours, publishing of publications, films dedicated to ecological corridors, organization of informative actions emphasizing significance of ecological corridors, the necessity to consider them in planning actions and processes.
