    Medieninformation Nr. 211 Telefon: (08161)600-154 Freising, den 22.07.2020 Pressemitteilung „Allen Unkenrufen zum Trotz“ erhält Auszeichnung als offizielles Projekt der UN-Dekade Biologische Vielfalt Das Projekt „Allen Unkenrufen zum Trotz“ ist am Mittwoch, 22. Juli, als offizielles Projekt der UN- Dekade Biologische Vielfalt ausgezeichnet worden. Diese Ehrung wird vorbildlichen Projekten zuteil, die sich in besonderer Weise für die Erhaltung der biologischen Vielfalt in Deutschland einsetzen. Die Würdigung wurde durch das Bundesamt für Naturschutz an die Vertretungen der vier Träger BUND Naturschutz, Landkreis Freising, Landkreis Neuburg/Donau und Landkreis Altötting überreicht. Freisings Landrat Helmut Petz drückte seine Freude über den Preis aus und dankte allen Ehrenamtlichen, die das Projekt unterstützen. Über 400 Biotope wurden für die Gelbbauchunke eingerichtet, mehrere Grundstücke für den Erhalt dieses kleinen Froschlurchs gesichert, rund 90 Menschen für den Schutz dieser Art ausgebildet – das kann sich als Bilanz aus den ersten vier Jahren des Projekts sehen lassen, heißt es vonseiten der Trägergemeinschaft. Mit diesem vorbildlichen Projekt werde ein deutliches Zeichen für das Engagement zur Erhaltung biologischer Vielfalt in Deutschland gesetzt, unterstrich Freisings Landrat Petz. Neben der offiziellen Urkunde und einem Auszeichnungsschild erhielt die Trägergemeinschaft einen „Vielfalt- Baum“, der symbolisch für die Naturvielfalt steht. „Viel hilft viel – das ist die Devise bei dieser Pionierart, die auf frische Kleingewässer angewiesen ist, um ihrem Nachwuchs das Überleben zu ermöglichen“, verrät Siegfried Geißler, Leiter der Unteren Naturschutzbehörde in Neuburg-Schrobenhausen, einer der Trägerlandkreise des Projekts. Das sei einer der wichtigsten Gründe, warum in diesem Landkreis bayernweit die größten Bestände der Art zu finden sind. Kleine Gewässer, Quelltümpel, Viehweiden, aber auch Pfützen und wassergefüllte Fahrspuren: Hier fühlt sich die Gelbbauchunke wohl, hier legt sie ihre Eier ab.

    The unmissable, once-a-decade OBERAMMERGAU Passion Play 2022 A collection of tours featuring the Passion Play, which also include: The Austrian Tyrol Lake Constance The Way of St. James Mozart’s Salzburg Dream Castles of Bavaria 1 EXPERIENCE AN ICON OF WORLD TRAVEL IN 2022 Taking place just once every decade, this legendary play owes its origins to a deadly plague and its almost 400-year history was disrupted in 2020 by a modern-day pandemic. Thankfully, it will now take place throughout 2022 so there’s a new opportunity to appreciate this iconic event. If you’re looking for a holiday to remember, join us in beautiful Bavaria and experience this incredible performance for yourself. All Oberammergau images © Passion Play Oberammergau An extraordinary heritage 2020 was set to mark the 42nd performance of the now-iconic Passion Play, but its schedule was disrupted due to the global outbreak of COVID-19 – a modern-day pandemic no-one could have predicted yet somewhat ironic considering the play’s origins. The Passion Play’s wheels were first set in motion back in 1633 when the Great Plague descended upon the residents of Oberammergau, a charming Bavarian village. Its citizens made a solemn vow that if their lives were spared, they would perform a play depicting the story of Christ’s life, suffering, death and resurrection every ten years. Amazingly, there were no further deaths as a result of the plague and the Passion Play officially began a year later in 1634. The event has only seen a few other incidents where it had to be postponed or cancelled throughout its almost 400- year history, but it will return in 2022 to wow audiences from around the world.
