Abstract

Twenty theses were derived from literature-and experience-based analysis of nature conservation administration in the federal states in Part 1 of this article. These suggestions are intended to initiate a fundamental reform process in order to make nature conservation administration fit for the future in the 21st century. These concern: (1) organizational structures in order to be able to work more effectively and efficiently, as well as less hierarchically; (2) personnel improvements in order to promote job satisfaction and enable future skills; (3) legal, planning, and financial innovations in order to increase the effectiveness of administrative work; and (4) training, further and advanced qualification in order to counter the shortage of skilled professionals and to implement an ongoing qualification offensive. The challenges should be systematically tackled simultaneously in all federal states with the work processes coordinated nationwide at the same time. This article is intended as a constructive suggestion to leave conventional pathways and overcome perceived and real constraints.
