Aussterbende Tiere : Biber, Nerz, Luchs, Uhu

The narration opens with a vivid portrait of Germany’s once‑rich forest fauna, now teetering on the brink of disappearance. Drawing on forty years of careful fieldwork, the author blends personal anecdotes with a clear‑sighted critique of industrial expansion and its relentless pressure on habitats. He sets the stage by contrasting the sturdy, iconic beaver, lynx and tawny owl with the smaller, less familiar species now pushing into the margins.

Through crisp description and richly detailed illustrations, listeners are guided into the author’s solitary excursions— from a brief, triumphant sighting of a beaver in the Elbe valley to the quiet tracks of a wandering lynx. The tone balances melancholy with a hopeful call for stronger nature reserves and sensible laws, inviting today’s listeners to share his urgency and to imagine the quiet wilderness that still clings to life.
