More than 10,000 species have so far been recorded in Baden-Württemberg’s first national park. On a forest walk at the Plättig, the species conservationist Jörn Buse shows what treasures the region holds and which species the national park particularly protects.
Dr Jörn Buse heads the unit for integrative nature conservation strategies and species protection at the Black Forest National Park. For several years he has researched and published on forest ecology, deadwood beetles and pasture management, and he studied environmental sciences in Lüneburg. On the roughly 90-minute guided walk he presents current topics from the national park administration’s monitoring and research. One focus is on the species for whose preservation the national park bears a special responsibility.
The excursion is part of the Baden-Baden Summer Dialogues 2026, held under the motto “Of certainties and uncertainties”. It complements the series’ evening lectures with an afternoon programme.
