摘要:The protection of species and habitats is burdened with trade-offs regarding both diverging conservation objectives as well as other objectives in forests, i. e. of economic interest. Calls for special protection of habitats and species or particular protection strategies should always be founded on a sound scientific basis. Besides the threat level, which in itself should thus be scientifically derived and not be based on assumptions, the concept of global responsibility needs to be taken into consideration when defining priorities and strategies for nature conservation. Ground beetles meet all requirements of a model group, since they are a diverse group occurring in all terrestrial habitats and at all elevations and are well-studied. Based on the study of ground beetles and their habitat relations in Bavarian forests, put in relation to their threat level according to the Red Data Book and the list of “responsibility species”, a comparison of the responsibilities by habitat group is presented. Particularly those habitats characterized by extreme site conditions are home to endangered species with a high responsibility level. The existing legal protection of these habitats, which are highly compatible with the EU habitats directive habitats of annex II, particularly the priority ones, needs to be enforced without any concessions. The more common forest habitats, like beech and oak forests, are home to responsibility species that can mostly be protected in managed forests, since they are currently not endangered. Speaking for ground beetles, the strictest protection of forests on extreme habitats with intact site conditions, everywhere in Bavaria, would be of the very highest current priority regarding those species we have the highest responsibility for
