The Faroe Islands National Museum has received funding to conduct a three-year research project on diversity of plants, birds, and invertebrates on the island of Koltur. The grant of 2 mio. DKK is from the Danish Aage V. Jensens Fonde.
Pilot work for this project started in 2019. In the next three-years, biologists will assess plant and animal communities and lay the basis for future long-term monitoring of the island. The first nature reserve and research field station in the Faroe Islands will be established on Koltur. Furthermore, nature restoration will be undertaken with the aim to let people experience how Faroese nature could look like without human influence.
