Im Rahmen des Projekts EU-Projekts "Erhaltung von Vögeln in der Agrarlandschaft" wurden in 10 Mitgliedstaaten insgesamt 20 Vogelschutz-Maßnahmenbündel (“Conservation- Schemes”) entwickelt. Es wurde ein partizipativer Ansatz verfolgt, der in Deutschland zwei nationale Workshops (Mai und November 2021, je ca. 40 Teilnehmer*innen), Interviews, wiederholten Austausch mit mehreren Expert*innen und Interessenvertreter*innen sowie das Einholen von Kommentaren umfasste. Die zwei Deutschen Conservation-Schemes konzentrieren sich auf je eine Zielart, nämlich Kiebitz und Rebhuhn, in den zwei landwirtschaftliche Systemen Ackerland und Grünland. Das vorliegende Dokument ist das Conservation Scheme für die Art Kiebitz auf Acker- und Dauergrünland.

In times of climate change and the global environmental crisis, socioeconomic challenges like urbanization need to be addressed hand in hand with nature and no longer at its expense. Nature-based solutions such as urban parks have become a popular instrument in science and practice. Improved health is a major outcome of their preservation, improvement and expansion. Equal accessibility to urban green for all city dwellers in response to different demands is crucial to generate liveable neighbourhoods with a high quality of life. The identification of the various needs of city dwellers, impeding usage barriers and future potentials of urban green spaces based on a scientific foundation helps city planning and decision making to meet the challenges deriving from global change while benefiting both the health of people and the natural environment. The interdisciplinary research project GreenEquityHEALTH addresses these needs by applying a multitude of methods to assess the functions of green spaces in the city of Leipzig (Germany). Here we publish our third factsheet of the project, including an English and a German version.

The GreenEquityHEALTH-project explored ecosystem services provision during recent summer heat and drought periods in two distinct urban parks in Leipzig, Germany, using a interdisciplinary, multi-method approach. In detail, the objectives were to generate empirical evidence on the potential of urban parks to provide cooling under the heat and drought conditions in 2018 and 2019, explore physical activity patterns related to divers park characteristics under the heat and drought conditions in 2018 and analyse analyse physical and mental health effects related o park visits., The research project 'Environmental-Health Interactions in Cities (GreenEquityHEALTH) – Challenges for Human Wellbeing under Global Changes' (2017–2022) is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF; no. 01LN1705A)., {"references":["Kabisch, N., & Kraemer, R.
