Dedicated Wildlife Rescuers from Gloggnitz Receive Prestigious Award

Sat 4th Oct, 2025

A dedicated team in Gloggnitz, led by Chairwoman Claudia Barbara Jarnig, has made it their mission to save lives in the often-overlooked areas of fields and meadows, particularly just before harvesting. Utilizing advanced technology including drones and thermal imaging cameras, these volunteers work tirelessly to rescue countless fawns, field hares, and ground-nesting birds from the deadly blades of mowing machines.

Their efforts have not gone unnoticed; regional media have frequently highlighted these life-saving operations. The volunteers often begin their work at dawn, prepared for the challenges that lie ahead. One particularly memorable operation involved a last-minute rescue of a fawn, successfully located and saved using their drone technology.

Through their commitment, the team has not only protected wildlife but has also raised awareness about the risks posed by agricultural practices to local fauna. Their innovative approach and dedication have garnered them a well-deserved recognition, showcasing the importance of community efforts in wildlife conservation.
