New partnership: National parks on Lake Neusiedler and Wadden Sea united

in Brussels, the exhibition entitled "Lower Saxony Wadden Sea & Neusiedler See-Seewinkel-partnership without borders in a Europe of the regions" opened its doors. These initiatives aim to strengthen the ecological and cultural gang between two important national parks. The National Park Neusiedler See - Seewinkel in Austria and the National Park Lower Saxony Wadden Sea in Germany work closely together to promote nature and culture of their regions.

A year and a half ago, an official cooperation agreement was signed, which is based on the professional proximity and the friendly relationships between the two parks. As the land effect Heinrich Dorner explains, it is particularly important to strengthen the natural ecosystems: "Because coastal regions, lakes, forests or pastures regulate our climate and represent early warning systems for climate changes." This connection is not only ecologically relevant, but also culturally of great importance.

The natural treasures of both parks

The National Park Neusiedler See - Seewinkel extends over around 97 square kilometers and includes the Austrian part of Lake Neusiedler, which is known for its broad reed belt and the sodalacken landscape. This variety of habitats contributes to the unique biodiversity of the area.

On the other hand, the Niedersächsisches Wadden Sea National Park extends along the North Sea coast of Lower Saxony, between the island of Borkum and Cuxhaven. With an area of ​​around 345 square kilometers, the Wadden Sea offers habitats that are shaped by natural dynamics, including wattlands, salt marshes, dunes and beaches. This variety makes it a significant habitat for numerous animal species.

A common feature of both national parks is their reputation as a "bird national park" because they are home to many bird species, including sea level, sab nobility, spoon and gray goose. Both parks are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and carry the status of a cross-border world heritage, which underlines their international importance.

For the further development and preservation of these unique ecosystems, it is crucial to receive the support from different sides. Overall, the exhibition in Brussels represents a significant step to promote the promotion of the region and its natural treasures, so that the connection between the two national parks is not only visible on paper, but also in everyday life.
