This is what the crane's habitat looks like. Or is it?
In our projects it also looks like this: Cranes with chicks in an industrial landscape in the middle of a quarry
For us humans, industrialised landscapes often don't seem "beautiful" or "far from nature". However, for many protected species - especially on the outskirts of large cities - they offer welcome retreats where they can raise their young. In our land conversion projects, in which former industrial sites are dismantled to make way for new commercial or residential areas, we are constantly experiencing wonderful surprises. The breeding crane in the middle of a marl extraction area is just one example. Little ringed plovers also regularly use the gravelly and damp ground for nesting. Their natural habitat, the regularly flooded floodplains, hardly exists any more. Sand lizards appreciate the dry areas, which are often covered with loose ruderal vegetation on the unused edges, as do rare and protected grasshoppers and wild bees. The construction machinery and the less "idyllic" surroundings do not bother the animals. As long as they find food and a sufficient degree of peace and quiet.
Of course, these escape points can often only be used by animals and plants for a limited period of time. Compensation is often stipulated for these newly created habitats as part of the authorisation process. In some federal states, there are regulations for this in order to take account of the value of this "temporary nature" without permanently fixing the condition at the expense of the owner.
We see a positive development in the fact that more and more companies are recognising the nature conservation value of their land and are consciously enabling the colonisation of certain animal and plant species on their premises with biodiversity concepts. Everywhere where everyday operations are not disrupted. The species conservation experts at Mull und Partner are happy to support you with their expertise in the design and implementation of such projects. Win-win in the field of tension between industry and nature conservation.
