Here you see an environmental protection area in lower saxony, northern Germany. It is named "Moor aside Buxtehude". The sand wall is the preparation for a highway passing the area,  destroying the nature completely. The aim of this area was to protect the corncrake, a rare bird. Let me know if you find a corncrake at the picture. The area is still declared as "protected flora and fauna habitat" according to  European Habitat Directive. It shows priorities in German nature protection.
