“With voluntary measures, we cannot continue”

A law for the conservation of biodiversity is crucial, said Schäffer: “We have a lot of years, in principle, the decades of waiting that something is going on, that the decline of biological diversity, especially in the agricultural landscape – stops. The Trend is unbroken” – every year, was in Bavaria and in Germany, a piece of nature lost. He is not convinced: “With voluntary measures, which are always to be applauded in Bavaria, we come.”

in The law proposal demands take, in particular, farmers in the duty: to mow, among other things, later, more Blühwiesen create, and the use of pesticides to reduce.

supporters of the people’s desire to “Save the bees”, their Transparent the target: One Million signatures for a new biodiversity law in Bavaria.

“The state is forced to do something”

The Initiative was not directed against the peasants, – said Schäffer. Because these were “not the perpetrators but the victims of” biodiversity decline and death of Bees: “The farmers are doing nothing Illegal, you economies, and the conditions can be set. But it is also a fact that the farmers in Bavaria, manage almost half of the area, and for this reason, farmers are extremely important to us.”

The Initiative “Save the bees” work together with the farmers and enjoy their support. The law claims were directed rather to the Bavarian state government, told Schäffer: it is Only through a secured financing, farmers could be encouraged to get more organic surfaces, “so that it is lucrative is to adapt.”

The state is forced to do something, because the Prime Minister Markus Söder of the announced round table on the protection of species is not sufficient: “A round table brings back all alone, not a single Skylark, and not a dovetail in our landscape.”
