increased risk of amphibians in the Ebersberger Forst

The Ebersberger Forst is currently fighting with an alarming increase in amphibian traffic accidents. In the middle of a contaminated traffic route, numerous toads and other amphibians have become victims faster. Conservationists speak of an unusual and worrying phenomenon that raises many questions.

unusual hike leads to accidents

Despite the fact that the amphibian migration usually reaches its peak in the spring, many of the animals have to start their way back to their winter quarters in the Ebersberger Forst. The aggressive soil moisture, caused by persistent rain, has tempted the animals to return to an early stage. Regina Wegemann, district manager of the BUND Nature Conservation Ebersberg, expresses: "Usually we only expect this hike in autumn, not now."

background and concern of the conservationists

amphibians such as toads, frogs and salamander are at risk from road construction projects in their habitat. The cutting of your hiking routes leads to an increased mortality rate when you cross busy roads. A network of amphibian protection fences and commitment of volunteers tries to offer protection to these animals in the critical phase of spawning. Wegemann explains how important these initiatives are: "It is our heart project, we do our best to protect them."

monitoring and possible measures

Despite the mass death of toads, Wegemann notes that the long -term existence of amphibians is not seriously affected. "Reproduction in spring is a priority," she emphasizes. Nevertheless, the conservationists take the early return hike seriously and plan to continue their observations. The establishment of additional fences could be considered to protect these endangered animals.

conclusion: a wake -up call to the community

The current situation in Ebersberger Forst is an urgent wake -up call for the community. The dangers that are exposed to amphibians are not only local problems, but also reflect a clearly visible symptom of the wider topic of species protection and the effects of human activities on nature. The committed work of the conservationists in Ebersberg shows that it is important to conduct dialogue about the protection of these sensitive species and their hikes.
