Pro Natura Naturschutzgebiete
What this layer shows
The nature reserves Pro Natura owns, leases or manages. Many lie within national or cantonal protected objects, some do not; a Pro Natura reserve is not in itself an official protection order: the cantonal and municipal protection decisions are what bind. For a site assessment the layer shows where land is managed specifically for nature conservation.

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.
