The chapter Hohenpeißenberg and Peiting of the BUND Naturschutz were involved in the past in the restoration of the nature reserve Schwarzlaichmoor. The black spawn bog was used for peat extraction over many decades, which is why there are particularly extensive peat cutting sites here. These had to be wetted again. The large dams were effectively built with excavators in 2006, the smaller ones by hand. In total, well over 100 dams with a wetting area of around 20 hectares have been built so far.
Just under 1.5 hectares of the raised bog area are currently being restored to a halfway original state by thinning out the woods - with the consent of the five owners of the site who are foregoing firewood in favor of nature. This "raised bog restoration" is being carried out in consultation with the District Office (Lower Nature Conservation Authority) and the Government of Upper Bavaria under the expert guidance of Dr. Helmut Hermann.
Tajikistan is among the Central Asian countries most severely affected by climate change. This is evident from the growing incidence of natural disasters, such as landslides, floods and droughts, and a general decline in the availability and quality of water. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, large areas were deforested to meet the need for fuelwood, especially during the severe civil war from 1992 to 1997. This now makes the country more vulnerable to climate change and exacerbates its negative impacts. Land use conflicts further contribute to the overuse and degradation of forest areas. Forest land is increasingly in competition... more
The Mittergraben is a nearby stream of the Salzach and was running out of water. The water authority Traunstein discharged water of the Freilassinger Mühlbach into the Mittergraben to revitalize the floodplain and create diverse water structures.
The Eggstätt-Hemhofer-Lake District was designated in 1939 as one of the first Bavarian nature reserves. The Seeoner Seen nature reserve followed in 1985. Even then it was clear that both protected areas were too small for themselves to ensure the long-term survival of numerous animal and plant species. The Ischler Achen with its tributary waters and adjacent habitats is being developed as the core structure of the biotope network. A network of ecologically upgraded areas is to provide additional habitat for endangered species throughout the lakes' catchment area. During the first phase of the project, the focus was on the maintenance of... more
Following 2005 floods, the dikes at the Obere Iller section Fischen were relocated and the foreland area was set deeper. Additionaly the Iller was widened.
