In the current edition of ‘Landschaftsarchitekten’, the journal of the Union of German Landscape Architects, an article about urban nature conservation through grazing in the context of urban development in Berlin has been published.
The article presents an overview of the conflict between, on the one hand, the need for space in urban development, and on the other, the current restrictions laid down by the Federal Act for the Protection of Nature and through the European guidelines for the protection of species. Our colleague and author of the article, Jonas Arndt, describes possible solutions that emerge in the context of the Lichterfelde-Süd project. A particular focus in the article is the concept of grazing and management with horses.
