https://www.bfw.gv.at/wp-content/uploads/Naturwaldreservat-Kardinalgraben-scr.png950634Natural forest reserves (NFR) have gained political and social importance due to current challenges related to climate change and the biodiversity crisis. Since 1995, forest areas have been put out of use on the basis of voluntary nature conservation contracts. The current NFR network consists of 192 forest areas with around 8,600 hectares (approx. 0.22% of the Austrian forest area). The aim of the NatWALD project is to expand the existing network by setting up 15 new NFRs (approx. 500 ha) with a contract period of 20 years.
