What this layer shows

Areas to be protected and developed as a unit under § 25 BNatSchG, intended to conserve and develop large cultural landscapes of rich natural character. The reserve as a whole carries no prohibitions of its own: the protection comes from the zoning, core, buffer and transition, and from the designations underneath. The three zones are separate layers here. The underlying data is what Germany last reported to the European Environment Agency; the legally binding boundary is the ordinance held by the competent nature conservation authority.

Schutzgebiete

Every area-based protection at once: Natura 2000, nature and landscape protection areas, national parks, national natural monuments and biosphere reserves with their three zones, plus the nature parks and Ramsar sites the states publish and the European return leaves out. Nationwide, the nature parks excepted.

Bestandsaufnahme

Where an ecological consultant or a planning office starts: the protected-site network, the small designations, natural monuments and protected landscape components, the biotopes protected by law, the Annex I habitat types with their critical loads, and the species records. The small designations and biotopes are available where that state publishes them openly.
