Guest birds - valuable areas 2018

The digital overview map provides an overview of avifaunistically valuable areas for guest birds in Lower Saxony. Avifauna refers to the entirety of all bird species occurring in a region. The avifaunistic data available to the authority for nature conservation are evaluated on an area basis. This assessment is carried out separately for breeding and guest birds according to standardized assessment procedures (assessment levels from "local" to "international importance", cf. Informationsdienst Naturschutz Niedersachsen 2/2013). The basis is the results of the water and wading bird counts from the period 2008-2018. All available data from 2008-2018 were evaluated. For the assessment of an area, data from a period of 5 years (depending on the data situation and processing status) was used for the assessment. The regular collection and evaluation of data on guest birds takes place exclusively in the areas shown.
