Nature in the nature park
In 2015 the book Biodiversity in the Diemelsee Nature Park was published. 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.
