This ordinance governs cantonal management contributions for nature‑conservation services, aligned with the federal Direct Payment Ordinance (DZV). It sets eligibility and detailed management requirements for conservation and regeneration zones, provides formulas for calculating contributions, and includes time‑limited compensation for yield loss and special provisions for orchards and priority biotopes. The Office for Landscape and Nature (ALN) is responsible for setting quality criteria, concluding agreements, administering payments, and enforcing compliance. Transitional rules apply to services delivered from 1 January 2024, with amendments and entry‑into‑force dates noted in footnotes.
