LIFE Amphikult

The AMPHIKULT project is being implemented in 15 project areas scattering within southern and central Lower Saxony between the cities of Osnabrück, Bremen, and Hanover. From the western and eastern flatlands across the Boerde region (a fertile plain with a loess base originating in the last ice age) and into the highland of southern Lower Saxony, the areas span four natural landscape units. Fifteen of the 19 amphibian types native to Lower Saxony populate this area.

Seven of these 15 areas are under the auspices of Natura 2000, the others are either focal habitats of several amphibian types or serve as corridors for the connecting of the Natura 2000 sites.
