Change at the top: Tino Schomann leads the Zwelverband ZSL into new times!
Salem, Schleswig-Holstein, Deutschland - on July 18, 2025 there was a
Fresh personnel shear at the head of the Zweckverband Schaalsee Landscape (ZSL). Dr. Christoph Mager, who had headed the association's fortunes for over eight years, stepped back from his post as head of association and handed over the baton to Tino Schomann, the district administrator of the district of Northwest Mecklenburg. Schomann's election took place unanimously during the association meeting in Salem Schleswig-Holstein, which underlines the broad approval for the new board boss. Schomann receives a lot of tailwind for his four -year term and is clearly motivated to continue and develop the course of the ZSL.
"We need strong partnerships to promote cross -border cooperation and practical nature conservation," emphasized Schomann in his first speech. This statement is no coincidence, especially in times when climate change increasingly difficult for nature and the extinction of species threatens biological diversity. Under the direction of Dr. The special-purpose association has developed a clear strategic orientation and changed from a pure management of a large nature conservation project to a modern municipal nature conservation institution.
A look at the successes
A important project under Dr. Magers was initiated, the expansion of the association area to the Elbe and a third-party project to strengthen the biotope network on the border with Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The measures include the area protection and advising owners to develop the former inner German border to a green band. Thanks to these initiatives, the ZSL makes a major contribution to securing our environment.
under the direction of Dr. The special-purpose association also intensified the cooperation with the districts of Northwest Mecklenburg and Ludwigslust-Parchim and the Duchy of Lauenburg from Schleswig-Holstein. In addition, partnerships were consolidated with the environmental foundation WWF Germany in order to protect and develop the valuable nature conservation areas together. Dr. Mager himself thanked the districts involved and the institutions for fruitful cooperation and was optimistic about the future of the ZSL under the new leadership.
The big picture in view
The developments in the Zweckverband Schaalsee landscape are part of a broader movement towards cross-border nature conservation in Europe. As in other international projects that deal with nature conservation, it can be seen that cross -country cooperation not only preserve nature, but also promote people living together. These challenges are discussed in the book "Crossing Borders for Nature: European Examples of Transboundary Conservation" that illuminates various European approaches.
In this sense, it is obvious that the work of the ZSL is not only important for Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, but can also be seen as part of a larger environmental protection concept. The Zweckverband thus celebrates a 35-year history of tradition that relies on cross-border cooperation in order to actively fight against the loss of biological diversity.Overall, it remains to be seen how Tino Schomann will tackle the challenges of climate change and species death. But with a clear focus on strengthening the partnerships and maintaining our valuable natural landscapes, he goes to his new task with a lot of vigor.
