Nature conservation planning

The central aim of landscape engineering is to safeguard ecological functions, protect species and habitats and sustainably develop nature and the landscape on the basis of the Federal Nature Conservation Act (BNatSchG). It is part of environmental engineering and is incorporated into environmental reports, FFH impact assessments or landscape conservation plans.
