Projektas inicijuotas siekiant išspręsti stumbrų, gyvenančių netinkamoje teritorijoje (Kėdainių, Panevėžio r. sav.), populiacijos apsaugos ir valdymo klausimus._x000D_Paskutiniais metais stumbrų skaičius sparčiai didėjo. Tačiau teritorija, kurioje dabar susitelkusi didelė dalis laisvėje gyvenančių stumbrų populiacijos, nėra tinkama, nes stumbrai gyvena intensyvios žemdirbystės teritorijose ir yra priklausomi nuo žemės ūkio kultūrų. Kadangi stumbrai žemės ūkiui padaro daug žalos, formuojasi neigiamas žemdirbių bei vietinių gyventojų požiūris į rūšį. _x000D_Teritorija taip pat nėra tinkama, nes stumbrai neturi galimybių susijungti su kaimyninių šalių populiacijomis. Dėl tankaus kelių tinklo stumbrų banda laikosi izoliuotoje teritorijoje, todėl mažėja stumbrų genetinė įvairovė. Jei bent dalis Lietuvos stumbrų gyventų pietų Lietuvoje, susiklostytų palankesnės sąlygos stumbrų bandai susijungti kt. šalių stumbrų populiacijomis._x000D_Siekiant išspręsti aprašytas problemas, numatoma vykdyti nuolatinius laisvėje ir nelaisvėje gyvenančių stumbrų populiacijos stebėjimus ir tyrimus; perkelti dalį laisvėje gyvenančių stumbrų populiacijos į laikino laikymo aptvarus, juos adaptuoti ir išleisti į laisvę jiems tinkamuose biotopuose; bendradarbiauti su užsienio partneriais stumbrų apsaugos ir valdymo klausimais, vykdyti stumbrų mainus; informuoti visuomenę apie vykdomas veiklas, vykdyti prevencines priemones.
