Future Discourses Neozoen - How do we deal with immigrant species - and how do we want to deal with them?

Zukunftsdiskurse Neozoen - Wie gehen wir mit eingewanderten Tierarten um - und wie wollen wir mit Ihnen umgehen?

Project Investigators: Prof. Prof. h. c. Dr. U. Siebert; Dr. Friederike Gethöffer; Franziska Schöttes

Duration: June 2020 until August 2021

Funding: Niedersächsisches Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kultur, 116.300 EUR

Project Details:
Neozoa are alien or non-native animal species that have been directly or indirectly introduced into a new habitat by humans. Intentional and unintentional introductions pose a threat to biodiversity worldwide. One prominent example is the raccoon. This problem is well known and is taken into account in Germany, for example, in the Federal Nature Conservation Act and the National Biodiversity Strategy. However, it is often unclear how introduced animal species should be dealt with. Prevention is the top priority. The aim is to prevent new species from being introduced and spreading. However, depending on the species and the invasiveness assessment by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation, animals are also removed and killed. This leads to a conflict between animal welfare, species protection and environmental protection. Although animal-related issues are usually discussed very emotionally, this problem has so far only been partially recognized by the public. For this reason, this area of conflict will be addressed during the project and discussed with various interest groups. The focus will be on two projects of the Institute for Terrestrial and Aquatic Wildlife Research of the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover Foundation, which deal with the introduction of the nutria, originally from South America.
