About moor frogs instead of agriculture in the NDR radio report
We are delighted that the "Moor frog islands near Sestelin - Part 2" project has been fully funded by AgoraNatura and would like to thank all donors!
"Agriculture and nature conservation are not mutually exclusive, but must be considered together," says farmer Christian Ringenberg. He and project organiser Nathalie Soethe described how the "Moorfroschinseln beim Sestelin" project came about in an interview with NDR.
The aim of the project is to create a refuge for endangered amphibian species. The focus is on amphibian conservation and especially on the protection of the moor frog, which is typical of northern Germany, as a target species of particular value that has already been identified.
Unmanaged buffer zones protect and, if necessary, promote amphibian populations. Many bird species (hedge and ground nesting birds), insect species (e.g. ground beetles, wild bees) and reptiles also benefit from this. Photo: Nathalie Soethe
