Waldreservate
What this layer shows
The cantons' forest reserves under Art. 20 para. 4 of the Forest Act, brought together for the whole country by the FOEN. In natural forest reserves no forestry work is done, so the forest develops naturally; in special forest reserves targeted work supports particular habitats and species. The reserves are as a rule secured by contract for at least 50 years. The reserve type follows the European MCPFE classification.

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.
