Secondly, wildfires in protected areas in the last decade represent an increasingly frequent problem in our country and cause great damage to particularly endangered, rare and endemic species. During previous projects we had the opportunity to deal with the consequences of the wildfires on the example of L. helle, which completely disappeared from the fire-affected localities in 2019. Therefore, within this project we want to create a freely available manual "Protected areas - Dealing with fires", which can significantly facilitate the management and implementation of adequate protection measures in times of crisis, such as wildfires. The manual will contain an overview of previous fires on the territory of the protected areas in Serbia (based on literature data), examples of good practice both in Serbia and in the region, a proposal for preventive protection measures, etc. In this way, managers of especially small, protected areas that do not have clearly defined protection measures receive a prepared protocol that they can adhere to in order to react as early as possible in case of catastrophic situations. Thus, we are strengthening cooperation with a larger number of protected areas managers so we can work together on the protection of its natural values!
