Auengebiete ausserhalb des Bundesinventars
What this layer shows
Floodplains outside the federal inventory, with their importance, regional or local, and quality as assessed by the FOEN. They are not protected as objects of national importance; as banks with floodplain vegetation, however, they fall under the general biotope protection of Art. 18 para. 1bis NHG, and the cantons may protect them as biotopes of regional or local importance.

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.
