Naturschutz und Wasserrückhalt Hand in Hand Wie Arten- und Naturschutz auch im Klimawandel funktionieren können

Nature conservation and water retention go hand in hand – how species and nature conservation can work even in times of climate change // Following a devastating flood in 2016, a joint project involving the municipality, the Frankenhöhe Nature Park, the Bavarian State Forests, authorities, and associations in the municipality of Flachslanden (Middle Franconia) created numerous small ponds, currently approximately 1,500. These are intended to serve both nature conservation and water retention purposes. The project, which is being implemented with the participation of local fire departments, clubs, and farmers, has been met with high levels of acceptance. The project has led to a significant increase in the local tree frog population.
