Ramsar-Gebiete (Nordrhein-Westfalen)
What this layer shows
Wetlands of international importance under the Ramsar Convention (1971). Germany has listed 35 of them. The convention obliges the state to maintain the ecological character of the site but has no consenting regime of its own: in practice protection runs through the Natura 2000 or nature reserve designation, whose boundaries do not coincide.

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.
