Environmental protection with tanks: Seehausen -based lizards and toads!

Environmental protection with tanks: Seehausen -based lizards and toads!

In an unusual initiative to promote environmental protection, special vehicles from Dibuka from Seehausen in Schwerin, the state capital of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, were committed. In the past few days, the heavy chain vehicles have been on the road to prepare the habitat of fence lizards and cross toads. These measures are part of a pilot project that aims to preserve protected species from destroying their habitats, while new areas for company settlements are opened up.

Hans-Joachim Schulz, the 61-year-old entrepreneur, leads his team with a mountains T 55 t and a converted marten tank of the type marten. These vehicles are not only heavy and robust, but also cleverly rebuilt to meet the special requirements of nature conservation. Mayor Rico Badenschier (SPD) was personally involved and emphasized the importance of this project for the city and its environment. The aim is to protect their protégés, the lizards and toads, from incessant construction noise and the associated habitat losses.

environmental protection through innovative measures

The project has proven to be necessary, since in Schwerin, as in many other cities, protected species always face challenges when new commercial space is opened up. In any case, the living space is restricted by the offer requirements for the companies. A spokesman for the city said that a location in Friedrichsthal, between the B 104 and a forest on Lake Neumühler, is intended as a new home for the animals to be relocated. Here the necessary conditions such as flat waters, dead wood and stone layers are created, which are crucial for reproduction and survival of species.

These measures are not only ecologically sensible, but also a question of responsibility. "We have to implement protected species again and again in order to be able to prepare unused areas for office buildings or production facilities," said Badenschier. The city is trying to take nature into account as much as possible and plans to make alternative areas available in the long term.

For Schulz itself, this commitment in Schwerin is not the first project of this kind. In the past, he has already participated in a military training area in Lübtheen in combating forest fires. Here it was shown that used areas have particularly varied structures that can have a positive effect on flora and fauna. Therefore, the procedure in Schwerin, where Schulz worked for the first time, is part of a larger trend to support the forces of nature with technical means.

The team of operations has created the prerequisites for future nature conservation in Schwerin within two days. This could serve as a model function for other cities in Germany, especially for municipal areas in Brandenburg. The city of Schwerin sees itself as a pilot community and presents the practical findings from this unique project as valuable experience for future projects.

The efforts of the city and the company are in the sign of the progressive climate change and the associated pressure on the wildlife. "It is important that we actively work for the protection of our nature in order to preserve our living space for future generations," said an urban representative. Events and projects of this kind are essential to maintain awareness of environmental and nature conservation while the economy is being promoted.
