Promotion of biodiversity in the spoy channel

The pilot project of the NABU nature protection station in Niederrhein aims to ecologically revitalize the spoy channel in Kleve. By creating more habitats, the variety of plant and animal species in this water should be increased. The initiative is an important step in nature conservation and has the potential to change the region sustainably.

innovative solutions: floating islands

A central measure includes the installation of small floating islands in the spoy channel. These islands are specifically planted with a variety of grasses, herbs and superflily. Anchoring with dews and stones ensures that the islands do not abort. These innovative islands offer an ideal breeding area for different types of birds and insects, while the roots in the water serve as protective and spawning space for fish and microorganisms.

long -term observation and analysis

Over a period of two years, the NABU team will closely observe the development of animal and plant populations near the newly created islands. This enables not only an evaluation of the immediate success of the measures, but also a long -term analysis of the ecological changes in the spoy canal.

Financial support for the project

70,000 euros are available for the pilot project, with most of the financing provided by the Düsseldorf district government. This financial support shows the commitment of the authorities for nature conservation and confirms the importance of such projects for the local environment.

community knowledge and commitment in nature conservation

The NABU initiative does not only have an impact on the wildlife; It also encourages the Klever Community to deal more active with environmental protection and biodiversity. Such projects raise awareness of ecological relationships and the citizens are motivated to work to protect their natural resources.

Overall, the NABU pilot project in the Spoy Canal is a significant step towards more sustainable development and shows how targeted measures can promote biodiversity and the ecological balance in our environment.
