Numerous species were recorded which are
rare and endangered in Nordrhein-Westfalen. Apart from thermophilous and
typical heathland species, inhabitants of banks and riverside biotopes
were observed, which apparently find a secondary habitat in the study area.
Presumably, the characteristic fauna can only be preserved, if the opencast
is not reforested after exploitation, but maintained using historical methods
of heath and woodland management.
