First of all I want to say
thank you to the Frankfurter Vogelwarte and her marvelous members
for accommodating our meeting and to support our initiative in such a convinced manner.
Scientific Project Content:
Regarding to the following themes it has been asked for a scientific analysis:
(comparing with agricultural production and forest)
the efficiency of extensive used rangeland as
Carbondioxid sink
Biodiversity reserve
Sheep grazing increases biodiversity
Sheep grazing improves ecosystem stability (in the Alps)
Buissiness Economical analysis:
costs of maintaining a sheep flock (economical calculations as basis for subventions)
macro-economical calculation of biodiversity, ecosystem servicers and stability
Diversification of the herders-profession:
Affiliated projects with own skilled experts like
o Tourism
o Working with handicapted people / children
o Children groups
o Vindicating projects
o ….
Teaching in vocational training
Natural and environmental guidance
Botanical analysis
Optional landscape-effects of the re-introduction of transhumant drover roads
Impacts of extensive used rangelands on biodiversity
Persistence and phenotipical variability of plant species after challenging rangeland use
Rangeland ecosystems and society
Rangeland ecosystems and tourism
Landscape management and transhumance
Different proposals of project funding have been discussed
Youth in Action programme:

Leader Plus Group
Euregio: germand grassland area (Antragsende wie bei Interreg in 2006 für Programme
bis 2013 ?) http://www.interreg.euregio.de/
DBU – Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt: main focus education ( => politics)
industry, foundation, administrations, ministries
Organizing the Project:
Project planning has to be started.
A central steering committee designs a general draft consisting of
a drover road-map (a prior-ranking challenge);
a symbolic baton virtually representing the transhumant seed-taxis, the sheep;
a convoy (tractor, herders caravan, exposition material, ….;
a set of material to realize local and trans-regional publicity;
project goal and prior content of public presentations.
The local project has to be regionally adjusted representing local ressources, goods and
services of herdering as well as the central project goals.
Also has to be planned an interlinked financiation directed to the educational project goal:
children
society
politicians
… over participating project players
The public relation work has to be professionally organized.
To realize the regional project-organization there have to be connected
the regional breeders association (shepherds)
a local steering committees
the regional / local performers
BANU
(The support of BANU was promised by CP Hutter, Andrea Mack, Getrud Hein, …)
At the same way it has to be discussed moreover the possibilities of
a well designed marketing initiative (press, TV, internet, ….)
a specification and training of Ecological Sheepherders (f.e. a label)
the design of proper representing TRUNPA-project-goals, ecosystem’s value, extensive
rangeland use, biodiversity, etc.
For the further project-preparation will be used a working and information platform in the
internet: http://www.weide.info/trunpa/index.php
