Main-Tauber-Kreis: pioneer in the fight for field birds and biodiversity!

Tauberbischofsheim, Deutschland - in Baden-Württemberg a lot is happening in the area of ​​species protection. The new species protection offensive, which is newly launched, aims to reconcile the expansion of renewable energies and the protection of endangered field birds. The initiative was launched to react to the challenges of species death, especially for birds, bats and amphibians. With a clear plan and various programs, you want to drive targeted measures that can also include smaller projects. The focus is on the speed and efficiency of the measures in order to be really effective, reports Main-Post.

The focus of the species protection offensive is on three central subject areas: a species aid program for the species affected by the expansion of renewable energies, a nationwide field bird protection program that, for example, focuses on cresher, vineyards and Kiebitz, as well as an amphibian protection program to improve the habitats of these animals. In order to be able to successfully implement the measures, coordination points were set up in the Main-Tauber district, which are located in the Stuttgart region at the district office. Here Ann-Kathrin Bröger, Master of Science in biology, has taken responsibility and invites farmers to actively participate in the offensive to develop local species protection measures together.

protective measures in practice

But what can that look like in practice? Small -wide, well -placed support measures have already shown positive effects. Especially in the Main-Tauber district, where the freedom of the meadow is documented, the cooperation between farmers and bird protectors could achieve successful growing of young birds in grain fields. Such projects illustrate how important it is to include agriculture in the protection of species protection in order to support the populations of endangered species.

The species protection offensive goes beyond pure conservation measures. Synergies with existing programs are also used to avoid double structures. In addition, nature conservation associations have the opportunity to contribute their own applications for projects, which supports the implementation and promotion of species protection measures on a broad basis. The first projects for Kiebitz, Rebhuhn and skylark will be massively expanded in the coming years, informs the Environmental Portal Baden-Württemberg.

biological diversity and legal foundations

The decline in biodiversity is a global problem that German nature reserves do not escape. Effective management of species is therefore essential to achieve defined maintenance goals. Both international and national regulations in species protection, such as the Federal Nature Conservation Act or the Washington, must be observed. The importance of these measures is also underlined by the steadily increasing danger of species, as examinations of the Federal Office for Nature Conservation. In summary, it can be said that the species protection offensive in Baden-Württemberg not only represents a reaction to the urgent of species protection, but also pursues a holistic approach that promotes the cooperation of everyone involved. The first measures will be started in the current year, and it remains exciting to see what positive effects this offensive will have on the endangered animal species and their habitats.
