Nature in the Gesäuse — Report on the situation of the natural space in the run-up to the planned Gesäuse National Park

The nature in the Gesäuse impresses both children who roam in a healthy environment, as well as adults, whether they are locals, recreation seekers or natural scientists. Everyone is differently impressed by nature and it is difficult to describe their nature experience in words. It is all the more difficult to capture the nature of the leaves in just one report. Far too many dimensions are present, from the world of microorganisms in water to the habitat of the eagle. For a few years now, a national park has been planned in the Gesäuse according to the rules of the IUCN. Nature is moving more and more into the center of interest. In the end, a law will allow for the most natural developments in the national park. For this purpose, documents are required to read out the implementation of the objectives set by the IUCN. This report is based on the objectives of the IUCN and incorporates all the material and information collected in recent years on the natural space in the association’s office. The report does not fully describe the situation of nature, but can only refer to existing documents.格绍（Gesäuse）区域的自然风貌，既能让在健康环境中徜徉的孩童为之倾心，也能打动各类成年人——无论是本地居民、休闲爱好者，还是自然科学家。每个人对自然的感悟各不相同，其户外自然体验难以用言语尽数描摹。而仅通过一份报告便完整呈现这片区域的自然特质，更是难上加难：其涵盖的维度极为广博，从水下的微生物群落，到金雕的栖息生境，无所不包。 数年来，格绍区域正依据世界自然保护联盟（IUCN）的准则规划设立国家公园，自然主题日益成为公众关注的核心。最终，相关法案将允许国家公园内的自然进程以最贴近原生状态的方式演进。为此，需留存相关文件，以佐证世界自然保护联盟所设定目标的落实情况。 本报告以世界自然保护联盟的目标为依托，整合了协会办公室近年收集的所有关于该区域自然空间的资料与信息。本报告无法全面详尽地阐释这片区域的自然全貌，仅能基于现有文件进行援引说明。
