Ecological construction site supervision – ASFINAG Service GmbH, establishment of replacement habitats for the loss of biotope areas in the Carinthian cadastral communities of Portendorf, Zinsdorf, Pubersdorf, Pakein and Thon

The ASFINAG Service GmbH received the permission under nature conservation law to establish replacement habitats as a compensatory measure for the loss of biotope areas. The replacement habitats were created as planned and are taken care of on a long-term basis. In the project, E.C.O. was responsible for the implementation of the preservation measures for a total of 13 replacement habitats. These measures included: wood removal, development of old-growth trees, control and maintenance of the amphibious guidance system in consultation with ARGE Naturschutz, cultivation of open, sunlit and fish-free spawning waters for the green toad, maintenance of a migration corridor for amphibians and small mammals, alien species management, development of nutrient-poor grasslands.
