EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - UNESCO World Heritage

• Hainich National Park: maintenance
and development plan 2001 was superseded
by the national park plan (completed
in 2009)
• Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve
(see example: Schorfheide-Chorin
Biosphere Reserve): maintenance and
development plan end of 2009
• Jasmund National Park: national park
plan from beginning of 2008
– anticipated until the end of 2011
• Müritz National Park: national park
plan from beginning of 2009
– anticipated until the end of 2013
Example maintenance and development
plan: Schorfheide-Chorin
Biosphere Reserve
Th e implementation of a maintenance
and development plan is subdivided into
a preliminary and a main study. Th e
preliminary study for the Schorfheide-
Chorin Biosphere Reserve including
the Grumsin component part was drawn
up in 2007 / 2008 (annex 7.3.5). In the
fi rst place, it addresses
• Data screening
• Area characteristics
• Drafting of general principles and
an overall objective system
• Defi nition of the required processing
work and processing depth for the
main study.
5. PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE PROPERTY
Example for the participative
approach in preparing the
management plans:
Müritz National Park (Serrahn
component part)
Th e national park plan appertaining
to Müritz (Serrahn component part)
has resulted from extensive public
involvement. In excess of 900 comments
were received after the draft plan had
been provided, which were addressed
by a working group that involved the
two administrative districts of Mecklenburg-Strelitz
and Müritz, the “Nationalpark-Anliegergemeinden”
association,
the State Offi ce for Forests and Natural
Reserves, and the Müritz National Park
Offi ce. Each comment was answered
with a statement contain ing the outcome
of the considerations (annex 7.3.4).
Essential contents of the main study
relating to Schorfheide-Chorin include:
• Additional biotope types / habitat
types mapping
• Supplementary species registration
• Preparation of scientifi c articles
(e.g. phytosociology and fl ora, fauna,
water and water balance, agriculture,
forestry and hunting, fi shery, tourism,
overall appearance of landscapes)
• Strategy of diff ering intensity
concerning nature conservation
• Natura 2000 management planning.
Either study outlines an embedded
extensive protection concept for Grumsin
to preserve the property and its integrity
to be protected sustainably. Th is methodology
can be applied to other areas as well.
Th e legal basis for this is detailed in tables
5.2 and 5.3.
