Focus on the robotic lawnmower: biodiversity in danger from lawn cut?

On April 21, 2025, the spring sun shines over Hesse and ensures mild temperatures. In this pleasant season, robotic lawnmowers come into focus as a practical solution for lawn care. But the enthusiasm for this technology is criticized from various sides. Osthessen News quotes Maik Sommerhage, the state chairman of the NABU Hessen, which warns of the negative effects of robberies on the species. Accordingly, the excessive mowing of the lawn leads to monocultures and reduces the biological diversity in our gardens.

These monocultures offer little habitat for a variety of animals, including songbirds, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians and hedgehogs. Particularly worrying is the fact that hedgehogs have to cover longer distances to find food that could endanger their wintering. In addition, the animal residents are particularly at risk when the robotic lawnmowers are used in the dark or at dusk.

suggestions for natural garden

In order to promote biodiversity in the garden, the Nabu Hessen suggests creating colorful beds from local wild perennials and hedgehog corners. Leaving edible wild herbs in the garden and the rare shortening of green areas are also effective measures to create habitats for animals. There is an urgent need for more biodiversity in public green spaces in Hesse, as the reports show. Naturally well -groomed areas could not only save care, but also water.

The discussion about robotic lawnmowers is not only a technical, but also an ecological. A responsible handling of this technology, as it also emphasizes dein-maehroboter.de is crucial. The potential of Morava robots to increase biodiversity lies in the correct handling and considering the needs of our domestic wildlife.
