Oktober 2021The Foundation Nature Protection Schleswig-Holstein –40 Years of Foundation Work40 t haBuying anddevelopingnature1978 2021Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden introduction 2We protect landscapes, rescue species and we arefixing carbon dioxideClimate protection 300 foundation areas Species diversityOne of the biggest nature foundations with only non-profit purposes. We create the „GreenInfrastructure“: Our habitat network with 40.000 ha „Stiftungsland“ is sprawling over thewhole country Schleswig-Holstein and is the last retreat for a lot of endangered species. Weare pioniers for the Biological Climate Protection.Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden introduction 3Stiftungsland.

Der echte Norden introduction 8challenges1. Climate change: the activities of Fridays For Future generate much more emphasison the climate change and the climate protection2. Biodiversity crisis: the publication of the study of the krefelder entomologicalsociety caused a new evaluation of the biodiv-crisis-->Politicians are looking for new solutions: „Nature based solutions“ or„natural climate solutions“ are favorite themesSchleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden challenge 9Climate change.Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden challenge 10peatlands in Schleswig-Holstein.The peatlands in Schleswig-Holstein covered about150.000 hektares. That are 9 % of the whole area and15% of the agricultural area.88% of the peatlands are drained and agricultural andforestrial used10 % of the anthropogenic global warming gases in SHwill be emitted from drained peatlands.Schleswig-Holstein.

Der echte Norden Biological climateprotection 14Basic informations.Healthy peatlands are worldwide the most important terresticalcarbon storage system, they are about 10-fold as effective asforests.Drained peatlands are emitting a large quantity of globalwarming gases like carbondioxide following the destruction ofthe peat soil. In Germany the share of drained peatland to thewhole climate change is about 7 percent – it is really relevant.The rewetting of the peatlands stop theses processes and in thelong run the peatlands change into carbon storage systemsagain.Schleswig-Holstein.
