Fire salamander – where are you?
Join in! The Lost and Found Campaign for the Protection of the Fire Salamander in Saxon Switzerland
Have you by chance seen a fire salamander in Saxon Switzerland? Please report him!
The population of the fire salamander is declining in Germany. In order to better study and thus protect the fire salamander, the Saxon Switzerland National Park depends on the assistance of the public. For targeted protection, it is important to know where animals are currently still found in Saxon Switzerland. Therefore, reports from attentive nature observers about accidental finds with photographic evidence are a valuable contribution.
