In the current environmental planning process, species, especially animal species, are often only considered as part of their respective biotopes. Consequently, about one third of the environmental impact planning projects in Germany completely lack any faunistic investigations, one third mention only some animal species, and only one third contain more detailed surveys (Reck & Kaule 1993). Even so called ‘detailed’ surveys consist only of simple lists of animal species. Population sizes and densities, home ranges, life cycles, habitat preferences, and isolation or connectivity to neighbouring populations are hardly ever described and considered in the planning process. |
