Voluntary rescue living space: Auerhuhn in the Black Forest at the forefront!

Voluntary rescue living space: Auerhuhn in the Black Forest at the forefront!

In the Calw district, an impressive group of around 30 volunteers came together on the last Saturday to work for the protection of one of the rarest birds in the Black Forest, the Auerhuhn. This was done as part of the Black Walgium Habitat Care Day, which took place under the motto "We want to do something - together for the Auerhuhn". The campaign was organized in cooperation with the Auerhuhn association in the Black Forest (AIS) and the Black Forest Association and aimed to maintain both the habitat of the Auerhuhn and to raise awareness of the protection of this unique way.

The collective point for the committed helpers was the Kaltenbronn Info Center. There, Forest host Matthias Mohaupt, who works as a project manager and habitat, welcomed the volunteers. He emphasized the importance of today's action for the preservation of habitats, which are crucial for the survival of the Auerhuhn. These birds that live in the forests of the Black Forest are not only cultural symbols, but also indicators of the health of the ecosystem.

Important care campaign for threatened species

Through targeted measures, such as keeping habitats and removing disturbing vegetation, the helpers try to improve the natural conditions that the auer chicken needs to nest and survival. These maintenance measures are essential because the living space of the animals is increasingly threatened due to human activities and climatic changes.

Participation in the campaign not only shows the commitment to nature conservation, but also how important community work is when it comes to addressing ecological challenges. The volunteers came from different regions and age groups, united by the desire to become active and do something for the environment. This is a positive sign in times when the protection of biodiversity is more than ever needed.

Matthias Mohaupt explained to the helpers that each individual measure is counting and the commitment of the volunteers are decisive for the long -term success of such projects. "We rely on the support of the community to secure the habitat of the Auerhuhn. Only together can we provide the necessary care that this habitat needs so urgently," he said.

With this action, not only is it specifically working on an improvement in living conditions for the Auerhuhn, but also creates awareness of environmental protection in the general public. Activities such as this habitat care day are important to sensitize people to what responsibility they have towards nature and how they can contribute positively to preserve biodiversity.

The organizers emphasized that such planting actions should be continued in order to reduce the pressure on the endangered species. At a time when many animal species are acutely threatened, such initiatives are not only welcome, but absolutely necessary. The Auerhuhnpopulation has decreased sharply in recent decades, and only through consistent protective measures can the survival of these majestic birds be secured.

This is particularly important because the Auerhuhn plays a key role for the Black Forest's ecosystem. The species contributes to the structural diversity of the forest and acts as an indicator of the ecological conditions in its environment. Protective measures that focus on the needs of the Auerhuhn often also benefit from other types and improve the biodiversity of the area.

Overall, the Habitatspflege Day was a successful event, which not only produced practical measures to improve the habitat of the Auerhühner, but also strengthened the network of conservationists. After use, the volunteers are often more motivated than ever to continue to work for environmental protection in the future and to actively educate about the importance of maintaining our natural resources.

The next steps could be the introduction of further nursing actions in various regions and the formation of other alliances with nature conservation organizations in order to further promote the protection of the Auerhuhn. As already mentioned, the success of such initiatives depends to a high degree of supporting the community, which can help its part to preserve nature.
