Sielmann's natural landscape, the Groß Schauener Lakes

Map view of the Groß Schauener chain of lakes

Sielmann's Groß Schauener Seen natural landscape is a nature conservation project of the Heinz Sielmann Foundation in the town of Storkow in the Oder-Spree district of Brandenburg . The area was acquired by the Heinz Sielmann Foundation in 2001 and expanded through further land purchases in the following years. The aim of the purchase was, among other things, the natural preservation of the lakes themselves and the protection of the banks and areas near the banks. Furthermore, the habitat for various animal species such as ospreys , otters and bats should be secured and ecotourism should be promoted in this area.

ecology
