\n\tPress release on the annu\u00adal press con\u00adfer\u00adence of the Asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion of Friends of the Ger\u00adman-Pol\u00adish Euro\u00adpean Nation\u00adal Park Unteres Oder\u00adtal e. V. <\/strong><\/p>\n on Wednes\u00adday Jan\u00adu\u00adary 14th, 2009<\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n \n In the work of the asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion, the focus last year was on deep\u00aden\u00ading the Envi\u00adron\u00admen\u00adtal edu\u00adca\u00adtion<\/strong> . High school teach\u00aders from the Uck\u00ader\u00admark were invit\u00aded to the Teero\u00adfen\u00adbr\u00fccke Wilder\u00adness School to intro\u00adduce them to the facil\u00adi\u00adty and what it has to offer, with a good response. The teach\u00aders also took this oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to get to know the excur\u00adsion pro\u00adgram, in which vol\u00adun\u00adteer sci\u00aden\u00adtists make their spe\u00adcial\u00adist knowl\u00adedge avail\u00adable to vis\u00adi\u00adtors and res\u00adi\u00addents of the region in a gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly under\u00adstand\u00adable way. The 13 excur\u00adsions in 2008 were used by 305 vis\u00adi\u00adtors. The excur\u00adsion pro\u00adgram will be con\u00adtin\u00adued in 2009 as well.<\/p>\n \n The will also be con\u00adtin\u00adued Land acqui\u00adsi\u00adtion<\/strong> . Last year the asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion was able to acquire 15 hectares of land in the nation\u00adal park region. This year, too, there are enough funds avail\u00adable to buy their space from inter\u00adest\u00aded own\u00aders quick\u00adly and unbu\u00adreau\u00adcrat\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly at mar\u00adket prices. Exist\u00ading leas\u00ades are of course tak\u00aden over by the association.<\/p>\n \n The board of the asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion met repeat\u00aded\u00adly with the respon\u00adsi\u00adble employ\u00adees of the Min\u00adistry for Rur\u00adal Devel\u00adop\u00adment, Envi\u00adron\u00adment and Con\u00adsumer Pro\u00adtec\u00adtion (MLUV) for detailed dis\u00adcus\u00adsions about the Future of the major nature con\u00adser\u00adva\u00adtion project<\/strong> and the reor\u00adga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion of the land. The talks were inter\u00adrupt\u00aded and delayed by the release of the head of depart\u00adment Karl-Hein\u00adrich von Both\u00admer, who had been respon\u00adsi\u00adble for nature con\u00adser\u00adva\u00adtion up until then, last sum\u00admer. Agree\u00adment was reached on a num\u00adber of points and some ques\u00adtions are still open. The asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion only pro\u00advides more detailed expla\u00adna\u00adtions when the nego\u00adti\u00ada\u00adtions have either been suc\u00adcess\u00adful\u00adly con\u00adclud\u00aded or bro\u00adken off unsuc\u00adcess\u00adful\u00adly. We def\u00adi\u00adnite\u00adly hope for the for\u00admer. How\u00adev\u00ader, the asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion remains com\u00admit\u00adted to its statutes, its grant notices and its nature con\u00adser\u00adva\u00adtion claims.<\/p>\n \n We start the year 2009 after the birth of Christ. In Chi\u00adna, the most pop\u00adu\u00adlous coun\u00adtry on earth, this begins in Jan\u00adu\u00adary Year of the Ox<\/strong> . It stands for a cer\u00adtain clum\u00adsi\u00adness, but also for patience and gen\u00adtle\u00adness. A Chi\u00adnese proverb says: \u201cThe buf\u00adfa\u00adlo prefers fresh grass than a gold\u00aden manger\u201d.<\/p>\n \n We have tak\u00aden that to heart. As a pri\u00ador\u00adi\u00adty top\u00adic for 2009, we will inten\u00adsi\u00adfy our co\u00f6per\u00ada\u00adtion with local agri\u00adcul\u00adture, espe\u00adcial\u00adly in Zone II. Two projects are emerging:<\/p>\n \n On the one hand, we are striv\u00ading, increas\u00ading\u00adly suc\u00adcess\u00adful\u00adly, for late cut grass from the area of Bioen\u00ader\u00adgy<\/strong> to find inter\u00adest\u00aded buy\u00aders. Such a solu\u00adtion is not only eco\u00adnom\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly but also eco\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly inter\u00adest\u00ading. We hope for a small break\u00adthrough on this issue in 2009.<\/p>\n \n On the oth\u00ader hand, we want to encour\u00adage local agri\u00adcul\u00adture, with the three Euro\u00adpean ones Cat\u00adtle species<\/strong> to exper\u00adi\u00adment more in the field of land\u00adscape man\u00adage\u00adment. There is the aurochs exter\u00admi\u00adnat\u00aded by humans not so long ago (1627), of which the rear-bred Heck cat\u00adtle reminds us very clear\u00adly. There is also the Euro\u00adpean bison, which has just been saved from extinc\u00adtion, which should find a home in the nation\u00adal park region because of its tourist attrac\u00adtive\u00adness, but also for rea\u00adsons of species con\u00adser\u00adva\u00adtion, and the third, the water buf\u00adfa\u00adlo, whose last rep\u00adre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtive trudge through the swamps in the wild in Assam Domes\u00adtic form but is quite at home in Cen\u00adtral Europe. We expect these buf\u00adfaloes to be quite suit\u00adable for biotope main\u00adte\u00adnance projects in a flood\u00adplain land\u00adscape. So we are in the year of the Ox.<\/p>\n \n At the begin\u00adning of its activ\u00adi\u00adty, in the ear\u00adly 1990s, the asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion had already acquired exten\u00adsive domes\u00adtic cat\u00adtle breeds such as \u201cWelsh Black\u201d and \u201cSalers\u201d and made them avail\u00adable to farm\u00aders. Now we want to encour\u00adage and sup\u00adport farm\u00aders to gain expe\u00adri\u00adence with cat\u00adtle in biotope main\u00adte\u00adnance and organ\u00adic farming.<\/p>\n \n As before, the asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion is of the opin\u00adion that agri\u00adcul\u00adture in the nation\u00adal park area should be car\u00adried out by the local farm\u00aders. Only where there are no ade\u00adquate solu\u00adtions will the asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion itself become active as an agri\u00adcul\u00adtur\u00adal enter\u00adprise. The pre\u00adreq\u00adui\u00adsites for this have been created.<\/p>\n \n There are major prob\u00adlems in main\u00adtain\u00ading the Dry grass<\/strong> which are of great impor\u00adtance espe\u00adcial\u00adly for the Low\u00ader Oder Val\u00adley. In 2008, the MLUV paid no fund\u00ading at all to the Bran\u00adden\u00adburg shep\u00adherds and shep\u00adherds who graze on such bar\u00adren dry grass\u00adlands, but this is eco\u00adnom\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly not pos\u00adsi\u00adble with\u00adout fund\u00ading. We con\u00adsid\u00ader it a scan\u00addal that the sheep farm\u00aders, which are so impor\u00adtant for eco\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal biotope main\u00adte\u00adnance, are falling out of agri\u00adcul\u00adtur\u00adal sub\u00adsi\u00addies, while oth\u00ader areas, such as the food indus\u00adtry, can\u00adnot save them\u00adselves from sub\u00adsi\u00addies at all. The MLUV urgent\u00adly needs to take coun\u00adter\u00admea\u00adsures here, pay the fund\u00ading for 2008 and adjust it for 2009 so that the shep\u00adherds can guar\u00adan\u00adtee ade\u00adquate dry grass maintenance.<\/p>\n \n Thomas Berg
