All activities in the project are in direction of protection of the water buffalos as endangered species, boost production of dairy products (mozzarella cheese) as an important source of income and create possibilities for rural and eco tourism. 20 families’ breeders of the water buffalos had direct benefit from the project, especially women that are involved in dairy production and dairy products. Within the project the following goals were set:
