Show construction or operation of an animal enclosure
Animal enclosures are permanent facilities that are set up outside residential and commercial buildings. You can keep animals of wild species in an animal enclosure.
Before you start building an animal enclosure, you must notify the project at least one month in advance. To do this, submit the necessary information to the lower nature conservation authority.
The lower nature conservation authority can issue orders to ensure compliance with species and nature conservation during the construction of the animal enclosure.
The operation of the enclosure must also ensure that all required nature conservation conditions are met in the long term, particularly with regard to species protection, care and safety.
