We at MuP Naturschutz are often the first people from the MuP Group to visit a project site. Long before a project area becomes a construction site, we investigate whether protected or "planning-relevant" animal and plant species are present or erect protective fences - as here in Brandenburg - so that animals are not endangered.
Sometimes the MuP construction site jacket shines out of a sea of heron's beak and field pansies.
An industrial estate is being developed in Schönefeld (Brandenburg) in the immediate vicinity of BER Airport. The environmental report for the recently drawn up development plan stipulates that a reptile protection fence is to be erected to protect sand lizards. This is intended to prevent the animals from migrating from a neighbouring patchy pine-birch forest to the project area. Of course, this fence must be regularly checked and maintained so that it can fulfil its function. If individuals are found on the "wrong" side of the fence, they are caught and released in the suitable habitat on the other side of the fence.
In this way, everything is done 6 months before the start of the construction work to ensure that no sand lizards use the open ground areas of the current fallow land to lay their eggs, or later burrow into the future construction site for hibernation and come to harm during soil removal and compaction.
The official requirement is fulfilled, our customer has planning security and the animals are not endangered. Win-win in the area of conflict between species protection and commercial development.
