Hoch- und Übergangsmoore von nationaler Bedeutung
What this layer shows
Raised and transition bogs of national importance under the Raised Bogs Ordinance. They are protected by the Federal Constitution: in mires of particular beauty and national importance no installations may be built and no changes made to the ground, except installations serving protection or the existing agricultural use (Art. 78 para. 5 of the Constitution). The objects are to be preserved intact, with regeneration encouraged where they are disturbed. The ecologically sufficient buffer zones the cantons set around the bogs are not on this layer.

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.
