Protection of Nature and Cultural Heritage 8

Section 3:

Protection of Indigenous Flora and Fauna

Art. 13

38

Principle

Wherever possible, the protection of indigenous flora and fauna shall be achieved by adapting agricultural and forestry practices in their habitats (biotopes). This task requires cooperation between the specialist bodies for agricultural and forestry, for nature protection and cultural heritage protection, and for spatial planning.

Art. 14

39

Biotope protection

Biotope protection, combined in particular with ecological compensation measures (Art. 15) and the species protection provisions (Art. 20), is intended to ensure the survival of indigenous wild flora and fauna.

2

Biotopes shall be protected in particular by: a. measures designed to preserve or, if necessary, restore their individual character and biological diversity;

b. upkeep, management and supervision to ensure that the protection objective is secured in the long term; c. structural measures that make it possible for the protection objective to be achieved, existing damage to be remedied, and future damage to be avoided; d. the establishment of buffer zones to provide adequate ecological protection; e. the preparation of basic scientific material.

Biotopes shall be designated as deserving protection on the basis of: a. biotopes types characterised in particular by indicator species, as specified in Annex 1;

b. plant and animal species protected under Article 20; c. fish and crustaceans at risk according to fisheries legislation; d. threatened and rare plant and animal species cited in the Red Lists issued or approved by the FOEN; e. additional criteria, such as species mobility requirements or ecological networks.

The cantons may adapt the lists referred to in paragraph 3 letters a-d to regional circumstances.

38 Amended by No I 2 of the Ordinance of 28 Jan. 2015 on Amendments to the Ordinance Law on the Environment, in particular in relation to the programme agreements for the programme period 2016-2019, in force since 1 March 2015 (AS 2015 427).

39 Amended by No I of the Ordinance of 19 June 2000, in force since 1 Aug. 2000 (AS 2000 1869).

Ordinance

451.1

The cantons shall establish an appropriate determination procedure so as to prevent possible damage to biotopes deserving protection and infringements of the species protection provisions of Article 20.

6

Any technical intervention that could damage biotopes deserving protection may be approved only if it pertains to a specific site and meets an overriding need. In addition to a biotopes deserving protection as specified in paragraph 3, the following criteria are particularly decisive in evaluating the biotopes when competing interests are being weighed up: a. its importance for the protected, threatened and rare animal and plant species;

b. its role in preserving the ecological balance; c. its importance in linking biotopes deserving protection;
d. its biological individuality or typical character.

Anyone who carries out or brings about an intervention shall be obliged to take the best possible protection or restoration measures, or failing that, appropriate compensation measures.

Art. 15

Ecological compensation 1

The purpose of ecological compensation (Art. 18b para. 2 NCHA) is primarily to connect isolated biotopes, if necessary by the creation of new biotopes, in order to promote species diversity, to achieve forms of land use that are as near-natural and benign as possible, to integrate nature into residential areas, and to enliven the landscape.

2

With regard to subsidies for special ecological measures in agriculture, the term biodiversity subsidy as used in the Direct Payments Ordinance of 23 October 201340 applies.41

Art. 16

Designation of biotopes of national importance 1

The designation of biotopes of national importance, specification of protection objectives and setting of time limits for the specification of protection measures in accordance with Article 18a of the NCHA shall be the subject of separate ordinances (inventories).

2

The inventories are not exhaustive and shall be reviewed and updated at regular intervals.

the quality with which the services are provided; g. the burden imposed on the Canton by mire landscape and biotopes protection.44

It shall be negotiated between the FOEN and the canton concerned.

Articles 4-4b and 6-11 also apply.

Art. 19
