Plan from the regional council.
(BZ). From the jackdaw crab in Ibenbach near Buchenbach to the ciliated bat in the attic of Freiburg’s Friedrich-Gymnasium to the stag beetle in the Gundelfingen Forest: the biological diversity in the Fauna-Flora-Habitat (FFH) area “Kandelwald, Rosskopf and Zartener Becken” is great. In order to preserve and develop these natural treasures, the regional council (RP) Freiburg has drawn up a management plan that is now ready and will be published on November 26th.
The approximately 2,200 hectare FFH protected area “Kandelwald, Rosskopf and Zartener Becken” is one of 212 such areas in Baden-Württemberg which, together with the bird protection areas, are part of the European Natura 2000 network. It extends over Freiburg, Waldkirch, Glottertal, Gundelfingen, Kirchzarten and other communities.
In order to implement the management plan, the district offices, cities and municipalities, owners and managers are called upon to contribute to the protection and preservation of native animal and plant species and to secure their habitats. The plan contains proposals for the rivers and for the management and maintenance of areas. In streams with rare jackdaws and stone crabs, for example, the introduction of crayfish plague must be prevented by means of preventive measures. For example, the staff of the building yards should be trained for maintenance measures at the waterfront. To keep meadows and pastures open, young trees should be pushed back. The continuation of near-natural forest management is intended to secure the existence of habitat types in the forest.
There are 212 FFH areas in Baden-Württemberg
The management plan is available from November 26th in: http://www.lubw.baden-wuerttemberg.de An inspection is also possible at the specialist authorities in the district offices of Emmendingen, Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, at the city of Freiburg and in the regional council during normal opening times after registering by telephone. Information and a film on the FFH area “Kandelwald, Rosskopf and Zartener Becken” can be found under “News” on the regional council’s website: http://www.rp-freiburg.de
In Baden-Württemberg there are 212 FFH areas which, together with the bird protection areas, are part of the European Natura 2000 network. The Presidium draws up a nature conservation plan for each of the 59 FFH areas in the Freiburg administrative region. This so-called management plan goes through an advisory board as well as a public display. So far, 50 management plans have been completed and published in the Freiburg administrative district, nine are still being processed.
