In the Rödern Heath near Radeburg, an incident causes excitement that calls on conservationists. An occupied sea eagle nesting tree was felled, which not only focuses on the protection of animals, but also targets the ongoing plans for wind turbines in the region. The situation is particularly dramatic, because according to reports from the Sächsische Zeitung, the sea eagles are particularly affected in the difficult phase of brood care. The boys are unfortunately dead and the old birds have fled Sächsische Zeitung .

After the incident, conservationists immediately informed the Lower Nature Conservation Authority (unb) at the district office in Meißen, who then filed a criminal complaint with the Dresden public prosecutor. This measure is not unusual, because in past cases of tree felling with Horsten protected bird species often had to be intervened legally. The district office is in the process of finding two other sea eagle nest in the region, while the sea eagle community no longer has a breeding success in recent years, partly due to disorders in their habitat.

Criticism of wind power plans

Here the question arises how wind power planning can be reconciled with the protection of species. The NABU (Nature Conservation Association of Germany) has positioned itself as a strong opponent of wind turbines in the past and has promoted bird species for a responsibility with the habitats of endangered bird species. The NABU President Jörg-Andreas Krüger emphasizes that the quality of the habitats in Germany decreases and the demands for a massive expansion of renewable energies must also take into account the interests of species protection n-tv .

The legislator has now established corresponding counterclaims of 500 meters to meet the protected species better. Nevertheless, there are always conflicts: wind turbines kill fewer birds overall than, for example, cars or cats, but particularly endangered species require sensitive handling. The sea eagles in particular are strongly endangered by constant disorders in their living space, which is why they are considered an indicator of the quality of the surrounding habitats.

forest area under pressure

In addition, it can be noted that other protected bird species, such as the black stork and the red kite, are also endangered by wind turbines. In North Rhine-Westphalia, for example, there are only around 60 breeding pairs of the black storks, and red-kilan are particularly susceptible due to their flight behavior, which makes the approval of wind power projects near their breeding places a delicate topic Deutsche wildtier Foundation .

The current events in the Rödern Heide also skill lightly on the constant balancing act between nature conservation and the requirements of renewable energies. In the next meeting of the regional planning association on June 26, this case will be discussed again. It is to be hoped that a mutual solution will be found that brings both the protection of species and the need for renewable energies. A sensitive approach is required here so that both nature and humans see their wishes and needs respected in the future.
