On Sylt Stella Kinne is a ranger at the Lister Ellenbogen nature reserve. “My goal is to preserve nature as it is. And ideally to improve them,” Kinne told the German news agency. In Listland on Sylt – an area of about 1,250 hectares in the northernmost tip of Germany – the 26-year-old ensures, among other things, that the sheep living there are protected against bites from stray dogs. Every year dogs kill up to ten sheep in the conservation area at Lister Elbow.
With special barriers she protects exhausted seals and gray seals on the beach from curious holidaymakers. Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) recently had to make a detour during a walk on the North Sea island.
Since January, the Harz resident has been active as a forester in Listland, which has been privately owned for centuries. She usually travels in a special ranger mobile. She checks whether leashes are mandatory, informs visitors about gray seals and sheep, birds and natterjacks and how you can protect the dunes.
