White Carpathians - Protected Areas
ZAHUMENICE
This small-scale protected area has been designated to conserve a fragment of once extensive species-rich meadows near Strani.
One of the interesting plant species is the Hungarian Pea Lathyrus pannonicus subsp. Pannonicus. Within the Czech Republic, it can only be found here, on the meadows around Strani.
Complete abandonment of management on the one hand and too intensive grazing on the other hand has led to decrease in biodiversity. The nature conservation efforts aim at a return to a more favourable status.
Type of protected area under CZ national legislation: Nature Monument
Managed by: the state, through Bile Karpaty (White Carpathians) Protected Landscape Area Administration
Practical site management: state financed, conducted by local farmers (sub-contracted)
