Photo: Ulrich von dem Esche - Wildlife researchers ask for help in recording brown hares and wild rabbits including in villages and cities Just in time for Easter, the Chair of Wildlife Ecology and Management at the University of Freiburg and the Wildlife Research Center of the State of Baden-Württemberg at the Baden-Württemberg Agricultural Center (LAZBW) in Aulendorf are calling on all interested parties to go in search of rabbits or more precisely, brown hares and wild rabbits, which are colloquially known as bunnies. From April 11 to 24, 2022, citizens can report sighted wild animals via the app or online platform. The campaign will be accompanied by an online lecture on the two species on April 7, 2022. It is open to the general public. "Brown hare and wild rabbit are character species of the surrounding area. If the habitat and weather conditions are right, the species can reach higher densities," says Dr. Johanna Arnold from the Wildlife Research Center at the LAZBW in Aulendorf, a sub-agency of the Ministry of Food, Rural Affairs and Consumer Protection.
