Study and preparation of special documentation for the protection of the tiger moths Watsonarctia casta and Chelis maculosa in 2015–2016
The aim of this project was to:
1) update the knowledge concerning occurrence of these two endangered species and the knowledge concerning their habitat preferences,
2) develop new species action plans and management plans concerning localities with their occurrence.
The project was conceived as an expert study concerning the overall literature search, collection search, datasets/file search, identification of historical localities, floristic and ecological revision and systematic mapping of both formerly known and newly selected localities with possible occurrence of the two species.
Presented documents were created with the financial support from the EEA Funds 2009–2014 and the Ministry of Environment. For the content of the documents, the Czech Society for Butterfly and Moth Conservation is solely responsible and under no circumstances these documents can be regarded as reflecting the opinion of the donor or the Ministry of Environment.
