Ecology or Surroundings - The government channels greater funds towards preserving wildlife and the environment.
Last year, the spotlight was on water-related issues, with a total of eleven million euros being allocated to ventures like the rewetting of peatlands or the enhancement of ponds. To combat drought, the organization also emphasized retaining water in the country. By doing so, they aim to boost the health of local ecosystems, according to Vogel.
One captivating initiative is centered around improving the habitat for the river mussel. This fascinating creature serves as a natural filter and water purifier. The plan is to utilize more than eleven million euros from government funds to reinforce the living conditions of this spectacle. This endeavor includes introducing deadwood and gravel into waterways such as the Dosse, Rheinsberger Rhine, and Thymenfließ.
Vogel asserts that the public-legal nature conservation foundation of the state is a fundamental tool for financing conservation projects. Along with these programs, European Union and federal funds often play a role.

Potsdam, situated in the brandenburg region, is home to various conservation projects. Axel Vogel, a prominent figure in these initiatives, emphasizes the importance of protecting local animal species and their habitats, such as the river mussel. To combat climate change, these efforts also aim to enhance the resilience of these ecosystems.
