The article explains the reintroduction project of the European bison (Bison bonasus) in the Rothaargebirge in Northrhine-Westfalia, Germany.

Es steht nicht gut um unser artenreiches Grünland und damit auch um die artenreichen Weiden - nicht in Deutschland und auch nicht in vielen anderen europäischen Ländern. Besorgniserregend ist, dass die Indikatoren und Trends zur Darstellung der biologischen Vielfalt im Grünland weitere Verschlechterungen signalisieren. Das ist sogar in vielen Schut...

DEUTSCH: In Deutschland sollen nach der Nationalen Strategie zur biologischen Vielfalt (NBS) bis 2020 auf 2 % (714 000 ha) der terrestrischen Fläche Prozessschutzflächen als Wildnisgebiete ausgewiesen sein. Nach den bisher konzipierten Kriterien sind nur Nationalparks eine bereits existierende Kulisse. Sie nehmen ca. 0,6 % der terrestrischen Fläche...

Low-intensity year-round grazing with cattle and horses yields remarkable success in zoological conservation: Results of two pilot studies of leafhoppers and planthoppers in Thuringia, with additional results on birds, reptiles and amphibians In 2008 and 2013 we studied the leafhopper and planthopper fauna on two year-round pastures after five yea...

Grazing is still a feature of many cultivated landscapes in Europe, and multiple benefits are associated with the grazing of semi-natural grasslands. Such regions harbour a particularly rich biodiversity, provide income to farmers, are important for tourism and recreation, and help maintain vital rural communities. The extensive use of grassland in...

European bisons were eradicated in the wild at the beginning of the 20th century. Intensive efforts of conservation breeding have meanwhile led to the re-establishment of a worldwide population of more than 4,400 animals. From the 50s onwards bisons have been reintroduced to the wild, which means that about two third of the world population are roa...

Establishment of a Herd of European Bisons in the Rothaar Mountains – Testing and development project of federal government European bisons were eradicated in the wild at the beginning of the 20th century. Intensive efforts of conservation breeding have meanwhile led to the re-establishment of a worldwide population of more than 4,400 animals. From...

Life Cycle Assessment of Extensive All-year Grazing of Cattle - Transferability of basic data of select studies The study aims to establish a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in the beef production from extensive all-year grazing with the main purpose of environmental protection and landscape conservation. The study was conducted in compliance with inte...

The near-natural pasturing of our cultural landscape stands for a modern, multi-functional agriculture. Many farms with grazing animals have an important share in effectively implementing the European challenges to protect biological diversity, climate and water. The subsequent paper – supported by numerous associations – makes proposals for a bett...

Human dimensions research can help resource and wildlife managers make informed decisions, target information efforts, and gain a greater understanding of the factors that comprise attitudes toward wildlife management efforts. Despite these often-stated merits, studies addressing the human dimensions of resource and wildlife management efforts are...

The European Bison reintroduction project in the Rothaargebirge mountain range in Germany aims to contribute to the conservation of the species and to fill again the ecological niche of this grass and roughage grazer in a central European woodland ecosystem. It also seeks to demonstrate that in a densely populated country like Germany human interes...
