AREA UPGRADE
Nature conservation at the front door of your house or office
Things get exciting when entire areas can be redesigned. Through targeted planning and development of larger areas, we can create significant habitats that meet the natural needs of different species. Instead of small, isolated pieces of land, we can create a connected ecosystem. These areas support the formation of stable populations and enable genetic exchange between animal groups, which strengthens biodiversity. In addition, large-scale conservation projects improve ecosystem-based services such as pollination, natural water filtration and carbon storage, which have a positive impact on the health of the ecosystem and thus the human environment. A redesigned area can also serve as an important buffer against climatic changes and strengthen nature's resilience to environmental changes.
WATER RESERVOIRS
Water reservoirs can easily be converted into important habitats for nature with various measures: With bank planting and planting thorny bushes for more insect habitats. Use of biodegradable erosion protection nets and sowing of flower-rich meadows, which stabilize the soil and promote wildlife. Establishment of aquatic biotopes: Small ponds and special sand areas support ground-nesting wild bees and other species. Integration of fish ladders and locks. These structures help aquatic creatures to overcome obstacles to migration and contribute to biodiversity. With controlled water outlets that mimic natural water levels in flowing waters and thus have positive effects on the ecosystem.

AIRPORTS
a large area for native plants
There are various types of green spaces that can be created on airfields. For example: Meadows; they require little maintenance and thrive on nutrient-poor soil, consisting of a variety of grasses and herbs that improve the local climate. Wildflower meadows: beautify the landscape and are an important source of food for pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Native shrubs and trees: which stabilize the soil and contribute to the diversity of the landscape. Green roofs: installed on buildings, they improve air quality and help regulate temperature. Grass strips along the runways: these can have a safety-enhancing effect by keeping birds away from the runways. Herb spirals and aroma gardens: such design elements are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also ecologically valuable.
TRAVOR STATIONS
for biodiversity and natural cycles
Transformer stations, i.e. substations or transformer stations, offer interesting opportunities for upgrading for nature conservation. These stations are usually demarcated areas that often cannot be used for other purposes. Nature conservation measures can be ideally integrated here without affecting the main function of energy conversion and distribution. As transformer stations are already embedded in the landscape, they can be upgraded for nature conservation purposes without taking up additional space. This is particularly important in densely populated or intensively agricultural areas.
GRAVEL PIT
Gravel pits - some see them as wounds in the landscape, for others they are teeming with life. Many rare species of floodplains or ruderal sites have now found a last refuge in a gravel pit. Since there is no longer any dynamism in gravel pits where mining has stopped, nature conservation often has to intervene. In order to maintain the natural dynamism, trees and bushes are removed, the topsoil is partially scraped away or new spawning waters are created for amphibians. Unfortunately, the ruderal sites in gravel pits offer optimal conditions for a large number of neophytes, which should be kept under control.
