location
The Diepholzer Moorniederung is located in the city triangle Bremen - Osnabrück - Hanover, mainly in Lower Saxony and with a small part in the North Rhine-Westphalian district of Minden-Lübbecke . It is a flat valley sand depression on the southern edge of the North German Plain with only a few, slightly rising, gees ridges .
meaning
The area represents a long-term focus of the Lower Saxony high moor protection. It also fulfills important networking functions with other European bird sanctuaries ( Dümmer , Steinhuder Meer ). The area is an important breeding ground for bird species in the open moor, heather and wet meadow landscape. In 1979 the Diepholzer Moorniederung was declared a wetland of international importance according to the Ramsar Convention, mainly because of the breeding occurrence of the golden plover . The area is also the most important breeding ground for the great gray shrike and the short-eared owl in the interior of Lower Saxony. The Diepholzer Moorniederung is home to three bird species that are threatened with extinction according to the Red List Germany (Witt et al. 1996). Furthermore, the following endangered or endangered bird species occur here: goat milker , hen harrier , teal , tree falcon , snipe , curlew , redshank and stonechat . Since 2000, the Diepholzer Moorniederung has developed into an internationally important resting place for cranes and Nordic geese (up to over 40,000 cranes in autumn).
This area is also home to the Moor Schnuck , which is one of the endangered domestic animal breeds.
