Species Protection

The construction of new facilities may threaten biotopes and habitats, necessitating an official assessment in accordance with Section 44 of the Federal Nature Conservation Act. According to the law, projects are deemed inadmissible if they violate prohibitions without an exception. Furthermore, the requirements for species protected under the Habitats and the Birds Directives must be adhered to.
