Species and habitat promotion in the canton of Grisons

Due to its scenic diversity and size, the canton of Grisons is home to countless bird species. This also applies to bird species which breed on cultivated land that have been displaced from the Swiss Plateau by human activity. The canton enjoys a special status in the protection of meadow-nesting birds, in particular because it still has large areas of late-cut, less intensively and extensively used mown meadows that provide a habitat for Whinchat, Eurasian Skylark and Tree Pipit in particular. We work closely with local partners on the individual promotion projects.
