Nature conservation claims: Construction work in the duffle promotes meadow birds and geese!

Kleve, Deutschland - kleve. The construction work of the NABU nature conservation station in Lower Rhine has started in the nature reserve in Düffel and enter into the next phase. By the end of October, five new sizes will be created here, which are used to collect rainwater. Water plays an important role in the breeding areas of different meadow birds, including species such as the Kiebitz and the Brachvogel. These birds need wet meadows with short grasses and open water points, which could be created by high water levels, especially in spring.

The new water areas offer the birds optimal conditions to search for food in the soft ground, which is particularly important in order to strengthen yourself for the breeding season and the long flights to the south. The facts show that the wet floor is ideal to browse with their long migrants for small insects and other food sources. This initiative is of great importance, not only for meadow birds, but also for the arctic wild geese that benefit from the conditions created.

water memory for geese and other birds

The increased water stocks are created in good time before most geese arrive from their arctic brood areas on the Lower Rhine. The juicy meadows offer these birds rich and high -energy food sources that are crucial to recover from the long flights. The ambitious measures that are implemented here have far -reaching positive effects on local fauna.

An additional plus of these new water surfaces is a certain protection against predators for the birds. Foxes who hunt for these birds are more difficult in the damp meadows because they cannot sneak silently. As a result, the chance of survival for the animals increases significantly, which benefits the entire ecosystem.

As part of the Life project "Grassland for meadow birds", not only the lowering is created, but also other measures to restore wet meadows are taken. These projects are supported by the EU and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and are part of a long-term plan to improve living conditions for birds in this region.

The preservation and improvement of habitats in the bird sanctuary lower Lower Rhine is the focus of the observations and initiatives that the NABU nature protection station Niederrhein has taken over. Such projects are a valuable investment in nature and biodiversity in the region, and they show in an impressive way how well -thought -out measures of nature conservation work can have positive effects on the wildlife.
