Recognition of Swabian Alb and Bliesgau as UNESCO biosphere reserves, extension of the biosphere reserve Berchtesgade ner Land to include the whole district of that name and the inscription of the Wadden Sea on UNESCO’s World Natural Heritage list were special highlights of a posi- tive development in all of the around 130 National Natural Landscapes. These were very gratifying achievements in 2010, the year of Germany’s presidency of the CBD and the International Year of Biological Diversity. However Germany too, has failed to meet the international target to stop the decline in biological diversity by 2010. Not only corral reefs in the Caribbean and mangroves in the Pacific are under imminent threat, but also more that two thirds of all habitats in our own country. 35% of native animal species and 26% of native plant species are considered as threatened. By implementing the Nagoya decisions we will make an effective contribution to the conservation of biodiversity at the global level as well as in Germany. National Natural Landscapes, which are protected areas of outstanding importance, will have a special role to play. They have to become much stronger drivers of sustainable living and management and of biodiversity conservation throughout Germany, and they must communicate this idea to the general public. It is neces- sary to improve effectiveness of management and strengthen cooperation among national parks, biosphere reserves and nature parks. Part of that mission is to develop the use of the National Natural Landscape umbrella brand as a marketing platform and to enhance its impact. It is especially important to show that unspoilt nature and the conservation of biological diversity contribute to the value-added of the region and to the prosperity of those who live within the National Natural Landscapes. The latest developments following the nuclear disaster in Fukushima also have repercussions for Germany’s National Natural Landscapes. The images from Japan have made it obvious that Germany must press ahead with expanding energy generation from wind, solar and biomass sources. We must make sure, however, that biodiversity in Germany does not suffer from this development. A number of protected areas – especially biosphere reserves as model regions for sustainable development – have long since taken up the causes of climate protection and renewable energies. They have done so successfully and in harmony with nature. I am firmly convinced that it is possible to reconcile an accelerated deployment of renewable energy sources and the conservation of biodiversity. Success in both areas will take us a huge step forward towards a sustain-
