Biodiversity Goals:
-Enhanced protection and restoration of freshwater ecosystems: “Among the three parts of the protected area, the third section is the quarry lake and the surrounding marshland, as well as the abandoned quarry yard. The standing water that has formed in the former clay quarry is an ideal aquatic habitat. The lake, with its moderately hard, neutral pH, and low inorganic nutrient content, serves as a habitat for several rare algae species in Hungary. Among the fish, the protected European bitterling can be found. Amphibians such as the green toad, common frog, and crested newt have been recorded, while among reptiles, the grass snake and viviparous lizard are the most common. The birdlife around the lake is also becoming increasingly diverse. Regular visitors include the mallard and tufted duck, with permanent residents like the common moorhen and reed warbler, and occasional appearances by the little bittern and kingfisher.” (Ref.1)
-Increase in protected green space areas/-Increased number of protection areas/-Increased conservation or restoration of ecosystems/-Increased protection of threatened species: “The Municipality of Miskolc, in its Decree No. 3/2002 (II.12.), declared the properties registered under the land registry numbers Miskolc 42906/6, 42906/10, and 42906/16 as protected under the name "Görömböly European Bee-eater Nesting Site and Quarry Lake" to legally protect the urban habitat of the highly protected European Bee-eater.” (Ref.1)

Social justice and community:
-Increased opportunities for social interaction/-Increased knowledge of locals about local nature: “There are regular bird watching opportunities organised by several civil society and nature conservation organisations, educating the public during their tours on the local flora and fauna.” (Ref.6)
-Gain in activities for recreation and exercise: “By establishing the protected area, the municipality aims to provide opportunities for rest and nature education for local residents.” (Ref.1)
-Increased support for education and scientific research: “The Hungarian Ornithological and Nature Conservation Society regualry monitors the protected area, providing guidance of effective managemt.” (Ref.4)
