What this layer shows

The fixed objects of the inventory of amphibian breeding sites of national importance under the Amphibian Breeding Sites Ordinance (AlgV). Area A is the breeding waters with their banks, area B the surrounding habitat the amphibians need outside the breeding season. The objects are to be preserved intact; departures are allowed only for projects directly tied to the location that serve an overriding public interest of national importance, and require restoration or replacement measures. Road sections crossed during migration are on the layer “Amphibienwanderungen mit Verkehrskonflikten”.

Federal inventories

The inventories of national importance a project is measured against: BLN, floodplains, raised bogs and fens, mire landscapes, dry grasslands and amphibian breeding sites, with the hunting-ban areas, bird reserves, forest reserves, wildlife rest zones, Emerald and Ramsar sites and Pro Natura's reserves. The basis of every environmental assessment under the NHG.

Environmental assessment

Where an environmental consultancy starts a site assessment: the federal biotope inventories, forest reserves and wildlife rest zones, the state of the rivers, wildlife corridors and amphibian crossing sites, the sites of threatened mosses, and the groundwater protection zones, hazard map and polluted-site registers of the cantons that publish them openly.
