Protection status

No international, national or cantonal protection

Disclaimer
InfoFlora compiles information on protected species as accurately as possible, taking it from the respective cantonal laws. In some cases, however, it was not possible to use the plant names as listed in the original text, but an interpretation of their taxonomy or nomenclature was necessary. The exact meaning of the categories „completely protected“ and „partially protected“ differs among the cantons.

InfoFlora cannot guarantee that the information on the protection status is correct and complete. In case of doubts, we recommend to look up the texts of the respective cantonal law.

Conservation

Threats and measures

Beweidung, Trittschäden


Einzäunen des Moorbereichs (ist bei Gros Gfäl im Gange)
genügend grosse Pufferzonen schaffen

Touristische Anlagen (Skipisten, Loipen; z. B. ist das Vorkommen bei «Salwiden» vermutlich durch eine Skipiste zerstört worden)


Absoluter Schutz der letzten Fundstellen

Natürliche Sukzession


Allenfalls vorsichtige Reduktion von Konkurrenzpflanzen (von Hand)
jedoch Schonung anderer seltener Arten

Wenige, isolierte Populationen; beeinträchtigte Populationen lassen sich meist nicht regenerieren


Schutz inkl. Zonen mit gutem Pufferungsvermögen
regelmässige Bestandeskontrollen
Dauerflächen einrichten
Artenschutzprojekt initiieren, Ex situ-Kultur in Botanischen Gärten und Wiederansiedlungen im ehemaligen Fundgebiet unbedingt prüfen (Schwantenau, Breitried, evtl. Zugerberg)
an potentiellen Fundstellen Wasserhaushalt stabilisieren, evtl. lokal vernässen
Erfolgskontrolle der Massnahmen gewährleisten
