Landscape conservation areas; designation
Brief description
In contrast to nature conservation areas, landscape conservation areas primarily serve to protect the ecosystem and its functionality.Description
In addition to flora and fauna, important protected assets include soil, groundwater and surface water, climate and the landscape. An area can also be designated as a landscape conservation area due to its particular importance for recreation. Areas in which nature-friendly use by humans is to be preserved or reintroduced can also be placed under landscape protection. In comparison to nature conservation areas, abiotic resource protection is in the foreground.
As self-governing authorities, the administrative districts and independent cities are responsible for the designation of landscape protection areas by ordinance. If the landscape conservation area extends beyond the territory of a district or a municipality not attached to a district, the district is responsible for issuing the conservation area ordinance.
Protected areas can be divided into zones with correspondingly graduated protection. Where necessary, their surroundings can also be protected.
