Bird protection on Lake Riemer: fence for breeding sites decided!

Am Riemer See in Munich are important changes on the program to offer the native birds a safe home during the breeding season. The district committee Trudering-Riem unanimously spoke out for the seasonal fencing of the wetland on the northwestern bank. This fence is to be set up from the beginning of May to mid -August and create retreats for different bird species. The application submitted by the Greens is a step in the right direction to counteract the dwindling bird population. tz.de was reported in April 2025 that the breeding species Teichhuhn and the bracket chicken have hardly been able to open offspring in recent years.

The demand for seasonal fencing concerns a variety of bird species that have settled on Lake Riemer for the past 25 years. These include pond chicken, pale chicken, dwarf diver, throttle tube singer, pond tube singer and pipe chamber. However, the successes at the breeding season have decreased sharply in recent years. This shows how important it is to take suitable protective measures during the critical breeding phase. emphasize the green trudering-riem that a targeted conversion ensures the safety of the birds during this time and at the same time ensures the natural habitat of the animals preserved.

A study by the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research has shown that the wealth of vertebrates, especially insects and spiders, directly influenced bird variety in urban areas. The more prey are present, the more varied the bird community becomes.
