What this layer shows
The shifting objects of the inventory of amphibian breeding sites of national importance: mostly working gravel, clay or stone pits, where breeding pools appear and disappear as extraction moves on. What is protected is not the individual pond but the site's function as a breeding area; extraction can continue as long as enough suitable breeding waters remain. The map shows the location as a point; details are in the object sheet.

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.
