Helpers wanted: save the flowering meadows and rare butterflies!
Sendling-Westpark, Deutschland - in Munich it has recently been blooming on the former pioneering training premises! Walkers can look forward to the sight of colorful cross and fringe senenencies. These floral beauties are the result of years of landscape maintenance that the goal of securing the habitat for different ways. Measures such as targeted mowing and the cutting of the mowing are crucial to avoid fertilization of the soil and bring light to the ground, which is an important prerequisite for floral splendor. Even the red -brown meadow bird, a rare butterfly, benefits from this well thought -out care, which also promotes biodiversity, as the State Association for Vogel Protection (LBV) reports.
In order to continue to support care, the LBV is looking for active helpers to cut off the mown grass. "Strong shoes and work gloves are mandatory, we provide the necessary tools," said a spokesman for the LBV. Interested parties can register by email to guenther.paschek@arcor.de by email, and thus actively contribute to receiving this ecosystem.
innovative care methods for nature
But the measures are not limited to Munich. A modern concept that is used in Erfurt could serve as a model: the method of the so -called "bumblebee mow". This comes from the specialist company Merkle & Partner Biodiversity Management and is patented. The idea is simple, but effective: only parts of the surfaces are mowed so that insects and small mammals receive sufficient habitat. This method ensures that the meadow structures remain while the seeds can mature at the same time. A total of 7.5 hectares are currently planned for this model project, which can be found at the Thuringian Zoopark and in the Geraaue.
But you can find creative approaches not only in Erfurt. The management of the green areas is also important in Munich. Intensive use of areas such as the Nordpark or the clarification also remains an issue. This is where extensively managed meadows come into play that promote drought -resistant plants and provide nesting options for insects. The mowed grass is then distributed to support trees to support humus formation and provide nutrients.
biodiversity as an economic necessity
In view of the progressive biodiversity crisis, it is becoming increasingly important that companies also take measures. According to the WWF, the destruction and overuse of natural resources becomes a serious economic risk for companies. More than half of the global BIP could be threatened. An integration of biodiversity protection into the core business is increasingly becoming a condition for sustainable management. Through strategic adjustments, companies can not only reduce risks, but also use new business opportunities, which is particularly important in a competitive market. In this context, the WWF offers its biodiversity stewardship approach to a valuable guide for companies in order to effectively integrate biodiversity protection. The possibility of using synergy effects can be identified as an example by means of reference to climate protection framework. There are great opportunities here that benefit both nature and the economy. In summary, it can be said that the care of green areas, as is currently underway in Munich and Erfurt, is more than just a cosmetic measure. It brings living flora and fauna back and ensures that we can continue to count on a healthy, flourishing environment in the future. Ultimately, it is a common work in which each and each individual can and should be integrated - because biodiversity affects all of us.| Details | |
