In 1978 the Buckow nature
conservation station (today the
State Ornithological Station
of Buckow) was founded. The
personnel work on protecting
the worldwide endangered
Great Bustard, whose roosters
can weight up to 17 kilograms.
The emphasis of their research
is on questions of conservation
on cultivated land. From the
observation towers near Buckow
and Garlitz one can see the
courting and breed grounds of
the Great Bustard.
