The focus on nature conservation: GNA is planning new projects for endangered species!

The Society for Nature Conservation and Auen Development (GNA) recently presented its nature conservation projects for 2024 and successfully freed the Köhlersaue in Wächtersbach from disturbing vegetation in order to offer the endangered yellow -bellied grenction a suitable habitat. The GNA looks back on the past year and highlights the importance of cooperation with various partners. The projects carried out include measures in the areas of renaturation, species protection and environmental education, which were often implemented together with local actors.

An important project is the cooperation with the Nabu Biebergemünd-Flörsbachtal to revive the Lohrbachaue as a wetland that has been running since 2021. The implemented measures include the dismantling of a dilapidated sheepfold and mowing the site to reduce wood and neophyte growth. In addition, a 1000 square meter tidal flood shaft with reproductive bumps for various types of amphibian was created. The GNA Foundation Mensch and Nature also plans the new system of a shallow water tumor in February 2024.

diverse nature conservation measures

In the summer of 2023, further measures for the further development of the men's broken wet area were implemented, including the conversion of a trench into a wetland. The “lapwing island” was sown with a domestic flower mixture, which already led to the viewing of forest water runners and creeping in the new biotopes. In addition, a reed biotope was renatured, which serves as a habitat for the water rake. The Lake Teaching Path on the Ruhlsee was renewed in cooperation with the city of Langenselbold.

The GNA has been working with Paltech since 2022 to combat the spread of the toxic autumn without time. Thanks to an additional profit of the environmental lottery "Exactly", a care use for the yellow -belly is able to be realized in the Köhlersaue. For the coming year, GNA is planning various events and seminars, including outdoor events for children and a seminar on water science. In addition, opportunities for donations in the field of nature and species protection are offered.

The yellow-bellied convenience, an outstanding way that lives in regular flooded floodplains, occurs exclusively in Europe, with Baden-Württemberg at the center of its distribution. This species is mobile and adaptable and finds ideal reproductive facilities in water -filled lanes that arise during wood transport. Despite their ecological value, these areas are not desirable from the point of view of soil protection. The yellow-belly is strictly protected by Europe, and numerous conservation measures are carried out in FFH areas, as Forstbw
