Criticism of new nature conservation law: Effects in Zell am See

In the past few days, the changes in the Nature Conservation Act have caused lively discussions. The new law, which was adopted by the government parties ÖVP and FPÖ on October 2, is harsh criticism, especially from the Greens. These speak of a real "anti-natural law" that could have fatal effects on the environment.

The green state spokeswoman Martina Berthold emphasized in a statement that the new legislation not only restricts the competencies of the state environmental administration significantly, but also fully overrules the protection of biotopes on a dedicated building land. Biotopes that represent important habitats for plants and animals no longer receive special protection through this regulation, which could lead to a loss of biodiversity.

The Greens use the example of Zell am See to illustrate the negative consequences of the law. "Biotop protection is of crucial importance to preserve ecological diversity," said Berthold. In view of the current climate crisis and the progressive species death, she adds that such measures are irresponsible.

Due to the deletion of the biotope protection regulations on construction areas, the use of areas can lead to special protection. This not only affects flora and fauna, but also has an impact on the water quality and the stability of the ecosystem in the region. The government's decision is viewed by environmentalists as a step backwards in environmental policy and triggers a deep resentment among the population.

"It is unacceptable that such far -reaching decisions are made without sufficient consideration for the environment," said Berthold. It calls for a review of the law and a return to sustainable practices that respect and protect nature.

The development of these political decisions therefore remains of great interest. In order to understand the exact effects on the environment and the population, further discussions and analyzes are necessary. The concerns of the Greens, which were initiated by these changes in the law, must be heard urgently in order to preserve nature for future generations.
