LosBonasus — Crossing! Improving cross-border wildlife management for widows and moose | |||||||||||||||
| Property / summary | |||||||||||||||
Elk and Wisent once roamed through the forests of Europe. Habitat loss, hunting and poaching led to the eradication of the widow in Poland and Germany, few elks were able to survive in the Polish forests. Breeding and reinstatement programmes as well as improved protection regulations contributed to the slow recovery of both species’ stocks in Poland, which are increasingly finding their way to Germany. For biodiversity an opportunity, the return of the large mammals also poses challenges for humans and animals. These are found where human interests and needs of animals collide. These include possible damage to agriculture and forestry, collisions in road traffic and human-animal encounters in local recreation and hunting. The lack of cross-border cooperation in management, monitoring and research is unclear where and how many animals are located in the German-Polish border area or where potential conflict potentials lie. Common knowledge, action and communication structures between the two countries are also missing. The initiation and improvement of cross-border wildlife management for widows and moose in the programme area, in line with the economic, political and social interests of the region, is therefore the central objective of the project. The sub-objectives are based on the current challenges described: 1. To provide a sound basis for knowledge and decision-making on the dissemination and habitat rights of Wisent and Elk in both countries; 2. Joint and cross-border coordinated development and initiation of management options for low-conflict coexistence with Wisent and Moose; 3. Acquisition of acceptance by involving relevant stakeholders and stakeholders as well as environmental education and communication in the project region. The main results of the project will be: 1. Comprehensive online and print map material on habitat suitability, migration corridors and potential conflict areas; 2. A set of measures and memorandum of understanding for a common cross-border management of wild animals between Wisent and moose; 3. Participation, education and communication materials as well as a Wisent-Elk mission group for the acceptance and alleviation of acute conflicts. The project contributes to the programme objective “Improving biodiversity”: The map material captures the used and potential habitats of widow and moose, and thus the area used to preserve and improve biodiversity. Based on this, measures for the management of moose and widow on these areas are developed. The results also benefit target groups such as decision-makers and authorities, land and forest users as well as the population. The early information and active involvement of key actors, who are equipped with the necessary knowledge and tools for management and prevention measures, contributes significantly to increasing acceptance. A special innovation is the Wisent-Elk mission group, which provides support in problematic situations with the animals. Educational and communication materials for the population in the programme area are intended to ensure a good coexistence between humans and animals through extensive information on Wisent and moose and strengthen the acceptance of the animals. The management of wildlife — where available — has so far ended at national borders. The project therefore pursues a holistic, cross-border approach in monitoring, research, management and participation to address these deficiencies in the wildlife management of Wisent and Elk. This approach is intended to prevent incidents such as the shooting down of the widow bull from Poland in Lebus, Brandenburg in 2017 due to a lack of joint cooperation and communication structures.

Elch und Wisent streiften einst durch die Wälder Europas. Lebensraumverlust, Jagd und Wilderei führten zur Ausrottung des Wisents in Polen und Deutschland, wenige Elche konnten in den polnischen Wäldern überleben. Zucht- und Wiederauswilderungsprogramme sowie verbesserte Schutzvorschriften trugen zur langsamen Erholung der Bestände beider Arten in Polen bei, die zunehmend ihren Weg nach Deutschland finden. Für die Biodiversität eine Chance, birgt die Rückkehr der Großsäuger auch Herausforderungen für Mensch und Tier. Diese finden sich dort, wo menschliche Interessen und Bedürfnisse der Tiere kollidieren. Dazu zählen mögliche Schäden für Land- und Forstwirtschaft, Kollisionen im Straßenverkehr sowie Mensch-Tier-Begegnungen in Naherholung und Jagd. Wo und wie viele Tiere sich im deutsch-polnischen Grenzbereich aufhalten bzw. wo mögliche Konfliktpotentiale liegen, ist aufgrund einer fehlenden, grenzübergreifenden Kooperation in Management, Monitoring und Forschung unklar. Auch gemeinsame Wissens-, Handlungs- und Kommunikationsstrukturen zwischen den beiden Ländern fehlen bisher. Die Initiierung und Verbesserung eines grenzüberschreitenden Wildtiermanagements für Wisent und Elch im Programmgebiet, in Einklang mit wirtschaftlichen, politischen und sozialen Interessen der Region, bildet daher das zentrale Projektziel. Die Unterziele setzen an den beschriebenen, gegenwärtigen Herausforderungen an: 1. Schaffung einer soliden Wissens- und Entscheidungsgrundlage zu Verbreitung und Lebensraumansprüchen von Wisent und Elch in beiden Ländern; 2. Gemeinsame und grenzübergreifend abgestimmte Entwicklung und Initiierung von Managementoptionen für ein konfliktarmes Zusammenleben mit Wisent und Elch; 3. Akzeptanzschaffung durch Einbeziehung relevanter Stakeholder und Interessensvertreter sowie Umweltbildung und –Kommunikation in der Projektregion . Die wichtigsten Ergebnisse des Projektes werden sein: 1. Umfassendes Online- und Printkartenmaterial zu Lebensraumeignung, Wanderkorridoren und potentiellen Konfliktherden; 2. Maßnahmenkatalog und Absichtserklärung für ein gemeinsames, grenzüberschreitendes Wildtiermanagement von Wisent und Elch; 3. Partizipations-, Bildungs- und Kommunikationsmaterialien sowie eine Wisent-Elch-Einsatzgruppe zur Akzeptanzschaffung und Entschärfung akuter Konflikte. Das Projekt trägt zum Programmziel „Verbesserung der Biodiversität“ bei: Das Kartenmaterial erfasst die genutzten und potenziellen Lebensräume von Wisent und Elch, und somit die Fläche, die dem Erhalt und der Verbesserung der Biodiversität dient. Darauf aufbauend werden Maßnahmen für das Management von Elch und Wisent auf diesen Flächen entwickelt. Von den Ergebnissen profitieren auch Zielgruppen wie Entscheidungsträger und Behörden, Land- und Forstnutzer sowie die Bevölkerung. Die frühzeitige Information und aktive Einbindung von Schlüsselakteuren, die mit dem nötigen Wissen und Werkzeugen zu Management- und Präventionsmaßnahmen ausgestattet werden, trägt maßgeblich zur Akzeptanzsteigerung bei. Eine besondere Innovation ist die Wisent-Elch-Einsatzgruppe, die bei problematischen Situationen mit den Tieren Unterstützung bietet. Bildungs- und Kommunikationsmaterialien für die Bevölkerung im Programmgebiet sollen durch umfangreiche Information zu Wisent und Elch für ein gutes Zusammenleben von Mensch und Tier sorgen und die Akzeptanz für die Tiere stärken. Das Management von Wildtieren – soweit vorhanden - endete bisher an nationalen Grenzen. Das Projekt verfolgt deshalb eine holistische, länderübergreifende Herangehensweise in Monitoring, Forschung, Management sowie Beteiligung, um diesen Mängeln im Wildtiermanagement von Wisent und Elch entgegenzuwirken. Durch dieses Vorgehen sollen Vorkommnisse wie der Abschuss des aus Polen stammenden Wisentbullen im brandenburgischen Lebus in 2017 aufgrund fehlender, gemeinsamer Kooperations- und Kommunikationsstrukturen künftig verhindert werden.
