What this layer shows
Legally designated areas under § 23 BNatSchG, the strictest area-based protection in German nature conservation law. § 23(2) prohibits every act capable of destroying, damaging or altering the site or its constituents, or of causing lasting disturbance: but what that means in practice is set out in the site's own ordinance, not on this map. 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.
