Auried, Amphibian nature reserve in Kleinbösingen, Switzerland
The Auried reserve spans 15 hectares, containing 9 hectares of meadows and 2.7 hectares of artificial water systems for amphibian breeding.
The area became a nature reserve in 1981 and received national recognition as an amphibian spawning site of federal importance in 2001.
Pro Natura manages this protected zone through a combination of traditional farming methods, including grazing highland cattle to maintain ecological balance.
Eight different amphibian species, including the Great Crested Newt and European Tree Frog, reproduce in the carefully maintained water systems.
The reserve hosts 187 bird species and 52 dragonfly species, making it one of Switzerland's most concentrated biodiversity spots.
