Endangered animal species in danger: quail king and bats on the Tüpl Allsteig
i m upcoming move of the ÖAMTC helicopter, which has been in WR for over two decades. Neustadt is stationed, according to St. Pölten there are worrying voices from environmental research. The new base, which is to be built near the Völtendorf airfield, could significantly influence the local wildlife.
The research community Lanius pointed out that the planned helicopter operation could threaten bats and the protected bird species, the quail king. The increased flight frequency, which is expected in three to four daily missions, is particularly problematic. These could have a negative impact on the habitats that are essential for these sensitive species.
planned conversion and their effects
The ÖAMTC plans to improve medical care in the central area with this new location. The helicopters are mainly used for intensive care flights, which are of great importance in emergencies. However, it remains to be clarified whether the advantages for human care have the potential disadvantages for local biodiversity.
The area around the Völtendorf airfield is an important habitat for different animal species. The quail king, which is mainly in the high grass, is one of these protected species. According to estimates, around half of the quail kings in Austria are located in the Tüpl Allstteig, which shows how significant this habitat is for the preservation of the species.
In addition, the region is known for several types of bats, the occurrence of which could be impaired by the noise and light emissions of helicopter operation. The concerns expressed by Lanius should therefore not be underestimated and raise questions regarding the project's environmental compatibility. It remains to be seen whether and how to respond to these concerns, as in a report by www.noen.at reported.Overall, the move of the ÖAMTC helicopter not only brings potential health benefits for people, but also serious ecological challenges that will have to be examined more precisely in the coming months. The argument about the new base in Völtendorf is therefore only the beginning of a complex topic that focuses on both human and natural interests.
