Bliesgau
Famous by its meadows filled with orchids of
diverse types, this reservoir is located in the re-
gion of Sarre, in Germany, it is home to the en-
dangered butterfly Euphydryas aurinia, better
known as “damsel of the waves” , famous by its
lit up colours.
A special Association of the Biosphere has
been created to guard the Reserve, which is com-
posed of rural, urban and suburban areas. Specifi-
cally Bliesgau wich possesses nearly 370 Km2 of
calcareous soil, bodies of water that run through
the entire territory and orchards of fruit trees and
uncountable orchids.This zone is vastly popu-
lated by humans since ancient time periods, with
nearly 112,000 inhabitants that are focused in
the counties of Sankt Ingbert and Blieskastel.
This Reserve has a special importance due to
human presence within its territory. The coexis-
tence of the human race and the echo system is
a global priority, reason why several programmes
of education and protection have been very suc-
cessful, creating in conscious and active commu-
nities toward the protection of nature.
Besides the butterflies, in this biosphere
several species also live: owls, bats, rodents and
a great quantity of molluscs, who fertilize the
ground and help the generation of this singular
orchid variety.
