Protection purpose

The main protection purpose of the Ölkofer Ried nature reserve is preservation and promotion

the wood-free cultural landscape characterized by grassland as a breeding, feeding and resting biotope for the bird world that is bound to such meadow landscapes, in particular the curlew, which is threatened with extinction

a species-rich meadow vegetation determined by different levels of moisture

of reed beds, tall perennial communities as well as hardwood stands, provided this does not conflict with the objectives of curlew protection

of still waters and their silting societies as a habitat for amphibians and aquatic insects

of litter meadows and other forms of extensive meadow use

as well as the maintenance and design measures that lead to an ecological upgrading of the area.

The conservation area serves to avoid negative influences on the conservation area due to changes in the environment that are disruptive or impair the natural balance.
