In the Regio basiliensis, only very small remnant populations of little owls survived near the border until the turn of the millennium. A comprehensive species promotion program, initiated by BirdLife Switzerland in collaboration with its neighbors LPO Alsace and NABU Südbaden, has systematically upgraded the habitats of the target species since 2000 and closely monitored the breeding pairs of the sympatric owl. The aim was defined as strengthening the population, recolonization in north-western Switzerland and promoting the typical biodiversity in the habitats. Thanks to the BirdLife Little Owl Program, species such as hoopoe, common redstart, wryneck and others have also benefited from the measures in the orchards and vineyards. The lecture presents this project in a comprehensive manner.

The lecture program of the Naturforschende Gesellschaft in Basel (NGiB) conveys scientific research in all its disciplines. Find out more about the passions of amateur naturalists and well-known celebrities.

The lecture series takes place once a month during the university semester.
