Rhoen Agency - development and realization of a new, future-oriented organization for the management of the Rhoen biosphere reserve

Objectif

The Rhoen Agency will be established as a private and non-profit organization. Its object it to take over management missions in order to promote a sustainable development of the Rhoen biosphere reserve - emphasizing on eco-tourism as well as on environmental education and environmental information in an efficient and market-oriented manner. The agency does not execute environmental law.

The present appearance of the Rhoen and its extraordinary significance for the protection of species and biotopes is based on traditional extensive farming during the last centuries. The landscape created by this type of land use is the main basis for tourism and recreation in the area. In order to develop an eco-tourism in the Rhoen it is necessary to preserve the landscape made by man and the rich natural heritage.

Favourable conditions for the development of the Rhoen are as follows:

In 1991, the UNESCO recognized the Rhoen as biosphere reserve. As a result the three states of the Federal Republic of Germany, Bavaria, Hesse and Thuringia - which are participating in the biosphere reserve, drew up guidelines for the protection of, the care for and the sustainable development of the Rhoen. This joint strategic concept has to be applicated by the three federal states, the local authorities and by private organizations during the next years.

However, what is missing is an organization, which coordinates the different state policies and integrates the various implied interests. It will emphasize on promoting and consulting eco-tourism as well as environmental education and environmental information.

The LIFE Project shall develop and prove an efficient and promising organisation for this matter.
