We from MuP Nature Conservation are often the first to arrive at a project site from the MuP group. Long before a project area becomes a construction site, we investigate whether protected or "planning-relevant" animal and plant species are present or erect protective fences - as we did here in Brandenburg - so that animals are not endangered.
Sometimes, therefore, the MuP construction site jacket glows from a sea of heron's beak and field pansies.
A commercial area is being developed in Schönefeld (Brandenburg) in the immediate vicinity of BER Airport. The environmental report for the recently prepared development plan stipulates that a reptile protection fence is to be erected to protect sand lizards. This is to prevent the animals from migrating from an adjacent patchy pine-birch forest to the project area. Of course, this fence must be regularly checked and maintained to ensure that it can fulfil its function. If individuals are found on the "wrong" side of the fence, they are caught and released in the well-suited habitat on the other side of the fence.
In this way, everything is done 6 months before the start of the construction work to ensure that no sand lizards use the open soil areas of the current fallow land to lay their eggs, or later burrow into the future construction area for hibernation and come to harm during soil removal and compaction.
The official requirement is fulfilled, our client has planning security and the animals are not endangered. Win-win in the area of conflict between species protection and commercial settlement.
