Monitoring of this population is key to obtain relevant information on the success of the recent reintroduction and the suitability of the management interventions carried out at the site. The development of the quality of dry grassland areas established at the Dívčí hrady site in 2017 will be evaluated based on the monitoring diurnal butterflies and other selected groups of arthropods.
