Note: The following pictures have been taken in Switzerland with a few exceptions. The images could lead the viewer to believe that biodiversity is still intact in Switzerland. The fact is that many species of animals - especially birds of the farmland - have dramatically declined or disappeared in recent years. The densely populated and intensively cultivated Swiss Mittelland is to a large extent a veritable biodiversity desert and despite many initiatives to restore natural habitats, the fauna continues to decline at a staggering pace.
