Something has to change!

Under this motto, an event organized by several water and soil associations took place in Anklam on 17.05.2023 on the topics of dealing with beaver damage and future moor protection. The Lower Nature Conservation Authority of the district Vorpommern-Greifswald was invited to give a lecture on the beaver problem. The LIFE - project office presented its work to show an implementable success story in practical peatland protection. The aim of the event was to initiate a discussion on these issues with the Minister for Climate Protection, Agriculture, Rural Areas and Environment, Mr. Backhaus, regional farmers and representatives from authorities and associations.

As a conclusion it is necessary to provide more money, more simply than so far for the removal of beaver damages as well as to push the further arrangement of the basic conditions for the moor-protecting damming in the fens of the country MV. For this purpose, guidelines and decrees have to be revised or elaborated, which make it easier for the actors to implement the daily problems in the area in a more sustainable way.
