Hoses for the rescue: Odenwald helps the yellow -bellied convenience!

Odenwaldkreis, Deutschland - In the picturesque Odenwaldkreis, a remarkable project has set in motion that is dedicated to the protection of the yellow -bellied convenience. As RheinMainverlag , 16 discarded hoses of the Michelstadt volunteer fire brigade are used for fire protection. These hoses now get an important second chance: they serve to irrigate spawning surfaces of the yellow -bellied convenience in order to maintain their habitat in view of the increasing drought.

The employees of the environment, nature conservation and landscape maintenance of the Odenwaldkreis are regularly deployed to water this special habitat. You will receive support from NABU committed volunteers who are strong to maintain this endangered species. City fire inspector Sascha Hammann was enthusiastic about the sensible reuse of the hoses and helped to load the materials into the car of district employee Jessica Lettmann.

unique habitat and their threats

In the entire Odenwaldkreis there is only one known occurrence of the yellow -bellied convenience, which is under special protection. The species prefers to live in pioneering waters that arise from natural floods or temporary pools. Unfortunately, extreme dry phases have threatened this habitat considerably in recent years, which urgently requires measures.

The current inventory shows that around 15 yellow -bellied sparks live in the region. The objective is clear: the stocks should be increased to over 100 animals. To do this, not only small waters have to be created in the project region, which is located in a former quarry, but also necessary to remove trees that can hinder the growth of the pioneering waters. reports that all of this happens in the context of activities that are not only aimed at protecting the yellow -bellied convenience, but should also enable land users and nature conservation.

networking for long -term success

In order to sustainably improve the slip angle for the yellow-belly tene, the project also pursues the long-term goal of networking the occurrence in the Odenwald with other populations, especially in Gersprenz-Aue and Mümmlingaue. This measure is wise and ensures a stable exchange of the affected species, which can be crucial for the preservation of the species.

In Germany, the yellow -belly is subject to special protection and is classified as "strongly endangered" on the red list. The project, from which Federal Office for Nature Conservation and Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Security and Consumer Protection, has therefore been the strengthening and networking of yellow-bait in Germany made. With a financial volume of 3.4 million euros, this challenge is being worked on in five federal states.

The initiative in the Odenwaldkreis shows that good commitment to nature can do a lot even on a small scale. With every irrigated spawning surface, the yellow -bellied tops move a closer to a secure future and those involved can be proud of their performance.
