Strengthened public land management on the most strategic sites of the area, with the securing of 181 ha through management agreements.Restoration actions will alsobe beneficial for Petromyzon marinus

by 1 000 to 1 500 individuals), and 2 spawning grounds for Alosa alosa on the four main spawning grounds in the Dordogne to increase its population by 400 to 500% (i.e. Restored spawning grounds: 12 Salmo salar spawning grounds in order to increase its population by 30 to 50% (i.e.Restoration of Habitats Directive-listed natural habitats: 5 ha of oligotrophic to mesotrophic standing waters (habitat type 3130), 7 ha of rivers with muddy banks (3270), 20 ha of hydrophilous tall herb fringe communities of plains (6430), 57 ha of Alluvial forests (91E0*), and 7 ha of Riparian mixed forests (91F0).In addition, it plans to develop methods and knowledge outputs that can be used to sustain project actions after the end of the project, to replicate them in other regions or transpose them into other contexts. The project also seeks to strengthen policies and management systems for natural environments in the Dordogne, and to enhance the involvement of stakeholders to promote habitat and species conservation. Reconstruct the sedimentary state of the spawning habitats of Salmo salar, Alosa alosa and Petromyzon marinus.Increase the number and reinforce the status of large alluvial natural areas (> 10 ha) hosting habitatsin a good state of conservation to promote environmental resilience.Increase the surface area of five natural alluvial habitats, listed in the annexes of the Habitats Directive.The LIFE DORDOGNE project aims to improve the ecological status of natural environments and restore habitats on 280 km of river in three Natura 2000 network sites in France: 7 620 ha in Valle de la Dordogne sur l'ensemble de son cours et affluents (FR7401103), 5 567 ha in Valle de la Dordogne quercynoise (FR7300898) and 5 685 ha in the La Dordogne (FR7200660). With no intervention to limit current threats, the conservation status of these already deteriorated habitats will continue to decline. This has led to habitat fragmentation and deterioration, which has significantly impacted spawning grounds of migratory fish species, including the Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar), sea lamprey ( Petromyzon marinus) and Allis shad ( Alosa alosa). gravel), and the stabilisation of riverbanks. Alluvial habitats of the Dordogne river are being impacted by human activities, such as hydroelectric infrastructures in the upper basin and dams, the extraction of materials (e.g.
