Abstract
In the Black Forest National Park (Germany), the target must be to restore ecological integrity by reactivating deactivated natural processes and thus to promote biodiversity, including the umbrella species capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus), which is threatened with extinction. Relevant priority actions include the rewetting of peatlands, a significant change in deer management, an increase in grazing pressure and (re)expansion of grazing especially for favorable (low) height of the blueberry shrub cover (15 cm), and the integration of fire into site management. These mea- sures are likely to restore, at least in part, lost but essential natural processes in the national park and contribute strongly to the promotion of biodiversity. In addition to the habitat management measures already initiated, they are an indispensable contribution to climate and species protec- tion and stringently continue the idea of process conservation.
