Biodiversitätsförderflächen Qualitätsstufe II
What this layer shows
Farmland biodiversity promotion areas at quality level II under the Direct Payments Ordinance: meadows, pastures, hedges and trees with proven botanical quality or ecologically valuable structures. The farmers are bound by conditions for the commitment period, such as the earliest mowing date; building on or changing the use of the land affects direct payments and often cantonal biotope protection too. Included: the cantons of AG, AI, AR, BE, BL, BS, FR, GE, GL, GR, JU, LU, SH, SO, SZ, TG, UR, VS, ZG and ZH; cantons whose terms of use do not allow use in this app, or that do not publish the data openly, are not included. For the canton of Graubünden's data: “No warranty is given as to the correctness, accuracy, currency or completeness of the published information.”
