Biotope: Gravel Pit
Home to Rare Plants and Animals
The forest has been cleared, the bridge is already in place, too. Only the road surface is missing. In Germany, every day an area the size of 125 soccer fields disappears under concrete and asphalt. In the process, 250 million tons of sand and gravel are used per year. But where do the many small stones come from? Where, only a short time ago, corn, trees or grass used to grow, today excavator shovels dig into the soil. Like a wound in the landscape it is lying there – the gravel pit. But gravel pits are more than holes in the earth.

Being able to fly has been a dream of humanity from time immemorial. But it does not even date back a century that people actually started being able to travel through the air. Since the 1960s, the number of flight passengers has been constantly increasing. Thus, the airspace is no longer dominated by birds but by man-made flying objects.
