Vogelschutzgebiet 'Unterer Niederrhein', Bird protection area in Lower Rhine region, Germany
The Vogelschutzgebiet Unterer Niederrhein spans 258 square kilometers across Duisburg, Wesel, and Kleve, featuring wetlands, old water bodies, and agricultural landscapes.
The protected area was established in September 1983 as part of the European initiative to preserve bird populations following significant declines in their numbers.
The Naturschutzstation Niederrhein leads educational programs and research initiatives to monitor and document the 48 bird species inhabiting the protected territory.
Visitors can access multiple observation points throughout the area, with dedicated paths and viewing platforms designed for bird watching and nature photography.
The region serves as a critical habitat for both migratory and resident birds, including the Reed Warbler, Skylark, Kingfisher, and various duck species.
