This book was created during work within the framework of the biotope network project, funded by the German Federal Environment Foundation, as a climate adaptation strategy for nature conservation in the example region of the Diemelsee Nature Park . The Diemelsee Nature Park Association works with NABU Waldeck-Frankenberg, the Association for Nature and Bird Conservation in the Hochsauerlandkreis and the Biological Station Hochsauerlandkreis . The available data on the species population in the nature park was published in the book.
