Where frogs live with the buffalo - to create Nabu project: 300 pools for rare amphibians
Winzlar (ade). 300 ponds will be built in Lower Saxony in the next five years - as a home for rare amphibians. The Conservation Federation of Germany (Nabu scored approved a similar project from the European Union.
The first pond, at the Thomas Brandt, scientific director of the Ecological Protection Station Steinhuder Sea (ÖSSM) Winzlar in the group of representatives of participating in the project, an institution is only a "hollow". About that name he laughed even more recently, says Brandt.
After this relatively dry summer, it was not clear why the pools would be called so many times - on show is a dry basin with cracked clay soil. Holger Brandt explains, since many of the endangered amphibians have little protection against enemies, it would be good if the pools are completely dry on occasion. For example, fish that had no chance to grab the frogs and toads too.
Approximately 100 of these pools have now been created. Another 165 from the now approved quota of 300 coming into this environment. Around 1.1 million euros for the project are available, some 500 000 of which come from the state of Lower Saxony in Hanover.
Regarding the investment of the pools out of the money would also upgraded terrestrial habitats - such as with hedges for frogs or toads Rohbodenschaffung for Phillips. Within a radius of one kilometer, the dry pond and the adjacent pond, which has an even larger puddle in the middle, there were 14 of 19 amphibian species native to Germany.
The special position of the stone Meer, the wetlands and the foothills of the mountains Rehburger was responsible for the diversity - the increase in population in recent years, however, was attributed to the protective measures.
And also for a concomitant of amphibians waters Brandt hopes to still greater populations: A number of ponds in the fens share frogs, toads and Co. for years with water buffalo. As now established, the buffalo are ideal companions for the amphibians - and especially the ability to graze on extensive marshy areas.
