<\/h5>\n<\/h5>\nRestoration of wetland habitats is one of the potential ways to mitigate the consequences of climatic change. Many wetlands, primarily the peat bogs in \u0160umava (Bohemian Forest), are islands of biological diversity, where countless numbers of rare plant and animal species live in their natural environment. Wetlands play an irreplaceable role in landscape hydrology and the water cycle, having favourable effects on the local climate.<\/p>\n
Water, however, has petered out to a great extent from the landscape after centuries of intensive human activities; mires were drained and converted to cultivated land. Nowadays, drought has become a serious problem, and therefore it is necessary to address the rectification and restoration of the landscape\u2019s natural hydrological regime. This was behind the conception of the project \u201cLIFE for MIRES\u201d, which returns water to places where it had been from time immemorial, forming the surrounding environment.<\/p>\n
