Water is life: pools as sources of biodiversity
Entwicklung des grün-blauen Netzes

Das Projekt

Regional Landscapes maintains and digs new pools to improve and connect habitat for water-related plants and animals, thus strengthening the ecological network in the area of operation. Through sensitisation and promotion, different target groups are convinced of the value of natural pools. By building and restoring our pond network, we secure the future for frogs, salamanders and numerous other aquatic animals.

Until now we have built 1146 pools.

  • Funding: living environment grants from provinces (70%) and private individuals (30%)
  • Regionale Landschappen: advice, support, implementation

Wie werden die Kriterien des Ziels erfüllt?

Ökologische Konnektivität

  • Facilitate the safe migration of animal and/or plant species across the different zones of the green-blue network.
  • Restore and/or promote biodiverse landscape elements (e.g. trees, hedges, flowers, rivers) along linear infrastructures (e.g. roads, railroads).
  • Manage the amenities ecologically.

Mögliche Initiativen, an denen das Projekt beteiligt ist:

This project is not part of an existing initiative.

Langfristige Wartung

Three years after pool construction or restoration, RLRL visits the pool to monitor it. This involves checking water parameters and making an inventory of the aquatic plants, aquatic animals and amphibians present. The species data obtained are entered on www.waarnemingen.be. The results are sent to the pond owner or manager together with management advice.

Vorteile

Improve landscape and wildlife values. Support vulnerable amphibian species such as the crested newt.
