20 years of rescue network for the wildcat: success and return in Germany

BUND celebrates 20 years of rescue network for the wild cat - long -term nature conservation work pays off - the wild cat returns

The wildcat celebrates your comeback! Thanks to the 20-year rescue network for the threatened, the BUND for the Environment and Nature Conservation Germany had impressive successes. The return of the wildcat shows that long -standing and cross -border nature conservation work bears fruit.

The European wildcat symbolizes the preservation of our forests and their biodiversity. Your protection not only contributes to the promotion of other species, but also to the health of our ecosystems. Therefore, the federal government is still committed to preserving and networking wildcat habitats.

The cooperation of the federal state associations and the Federal Association as well as the close cooperation with various actors have led to new evidence of the endangered type. Despite these successes, nature conservation is a long -term task. With the project "Wildcat forests of Tomorrow", the federal government continues its commitment to network the wildlown habitats.

Protecting the wildcat is a common task in which many interest groups have to be integrated. Through intensive communication and persuasion work, the federal government succeeds in gaining people on site to protect the species. Together, the wildcat can gain a foothold in its original distribution area.

At the celebration in Thuringia, the success of the rescue network for the wild cat was also recognized. Representatives of the federal government and other prominent personalities spoke about the importance of nature conservation and the cooperation of the different actors.

The rescue network for the wildcat, in which eleven federal state associations as well as the Federal Association and the Bundjugend participate, covers the entire distribution area of ​​the European wild cat in Germany. The wildcat is an important part of our forests and we should work together for their protection.

The European wildcat lives in structurally rich leaf and leaf mixed forests. Your habitat should be large, coherent and structure -rich in order to meet your needs. The federal government is not only committed to protecting the wildcat, but also for the promotion of other forest dwellers who depend on similar habitats.

The wildcat stocks are recorded by the Lockstock monitoring, a scientific method in which wooden sticks prepared with valerian are set up in the forests. The wild cats rub on it and leave hair that is genetically analyzed. This enables Germany -wide recording of the type and its spread.

The wildcat route plan shows how the current wildcat habitats can be connected. It also shows large forest areas that are suitable for wild cats.

The green corridors consisting of hedges, rows of trees and shrubs, serve as hiking trails for wild cats and many other species. They support the genetic diversity and contribute to the survival of the species.

The six -year project "Wildcat forests of tomorrow" is funded by the federal program biological diversity and is committed to networking wildcat life. The federal government coordinates the project in cooperation with various state associations.

The success of the rescue network for the wildcat shows that long -standing nature conservation work can have a lasting effect. The federal government is still committed to ensuring that the wildcat in Germany becomes at home and can perceive its role in the ecosystem of our forests.

For more information and photos of the wildcat rescue network, the contacts of the federal government are available. Together we can contribute to the fact that the wildcat will continue to play an important role in our forests in the future.
