Villach is breaking new ground: Innovative mowers protect insects and animals!

In Villach, a new approach will be chosen this year to protect the domestic wildlife. With an innovative mower device, which represents an uncomplicated and flexible iron construction, small animals and insects are to be preserved from mowing. As 5 minutes, this technology is already applied in agriculture to distribute young animals in front of the mahd. The city of Villach is one step further when it comes to promoting biodiversity and protecting domestic habitats.

The mayor Sarah Katholnig underlines the essential role of insects for biological diversity. With the new device, which is flexible and without tools, a multiple of small creatures can be saved. According to the Head of Economics Alfred Wolligger, the material of the device is both robust and flexible, which makes it easier to use. Areas of application are mainly parking facilities and streets where mowing is essential.

protection of biodiversity

Intensive management and the use of pesticides are increasingly under pressure. The consequences are serious: there is a loss of important ecosystem services such as pollination and natural pest regulation. A central project to improve living conditions for insects is the initiative "Targeted insect funding for agriculture", which, among other things, promotes flowering planting areas. These should not only offer food, but also habitat and wintering options, such as bfn.de

In addition, as part of the “Life insect -promoting regions” project, it is worked on solutions that bring farmers and nature conservation under one roof. The networking between different actors plays a key role. The initiative offers pages of measures that contain easy -to -implement tips for protecting the biodiversity. These measures include, among other things, insect-friendly mahd and the greening of Passenger in fruit growing, such as the Global Fund

ecology meets agriculture

With the new approach to maintaining the green areas in Villach, a green sign is set, which can offer both ecological and economic advantages. In fact, it shows that less dependence on insecticides and the use of biological control methods not only benefits the insect population, but can also support farmers in the long term. Projects that promote flower strips and innovative mahd methods can increase the productivity of the companies, while biodiversity is also taken into account.

In Villach, not only is mowed, but also actively worked on a future -oriented, environmentally conscious handling of nature. The introduction of this mower device is far from the only step, but it clearly shows how important the protection of natural resources is today. A good knack for new techniques is required so that both humans and nature can benefit.
