The importance of the Rhein-Neckar fawn for nature conservation

Heidelberg. The Rhein-Neckar fawn rescue rescue makes an important contribution to the protection of domestic wildlife. Thanks to their commitment, 310 young deer could be saved this year. The volunteers under the direction of Ralph Steffen rely on modern technology to find the fawn in good time before mowing the fields.

a busy and fulfilling use

The rescue campaigns begin in March when farmers mow their fields for the silage. The hay is made until July. During this time, the high grass is a dangerous place for the young deer, since they can hardly be seen there by farmers on their machines. The Rhein-Neckar fawn rescue rescue is used here with drones that are equipped with thermal imaging cameras to track down the animals.

technology meets animal protection

The drones of the Rhein-Neckar fawn rescue rescue are equipped with GPS data and fly a prepared grid over the fields. As soon as a fawn is discovered, the helpers move out to get it out of the danger zone. It is taken care of not transferring the smell of man to the animal so that it can be found by his mother.

nature conservation all goes on

The rescue campaigns of the Rhein-Neckar roewitz rescue are not only important for the preservation of the wildlife population, but also serve as a whole for nature conservation. Defaults in protecting fawns can have legal consequences, as a case of a farmer from Hockenheim shows. It is therefore of great importance that farmers and hunters meet their obligation to preserve wild animals.

common use for nature

For four years, the Rhein-Neckar fawn rescue rescue for the protection of the domestic wildlife. Thanks to the support from different participants, including hunters, conservationists, farmers and vegetarians, the organization has already protected many fawns from safe death. The Rhein-Neckar roewitz rescue is financed by membership fees and donations that are essential for the continuation of the important work.
