=== Ecological problems === [[File:Baumleichen4.JPG|thumb|Trees damaged by bark beetle]] [[File:Braunlage - Wurmberg 01.jpg|thumb|Dead spruce forest (Picea abies) in Harz National Park]] Recently, the Harz National Park has suffered from bark beetle outbreaks as well as acid rain and other environmental problems. The [[bark beetle]] is on the rise here due to climate change and global warming. Since 2006, there has been increased bark beetle gradation. [[Hurricane Kyrill]] also caused severe damage in the region. Stands of trees, especially spruce, were torn down over wide areas. The National Park management came under fire from the local communities as a result of the bark beetle measures that were subsequently needed. In particular, the National Park community at [[Ilsenburg]] criticized the use of technology (e.g. [[harvester (forestry)|harvesters]]). Because of the inaccessibility of the terrain there was really no other way to haul the wind blown tree trunks from the affected areas.<ref>Gemeinsames Faltblatt von Nationalpark Harz und NABU Sachsen-Anhalt zur Borkenkäferfrage im Nationalpark Harz:[http://sachsen-anhalt.nabu.de/themen/nationalparkharz/borkenkaefer/]</ref> In the so-called natural development zone of the Harz National Park, which surrounds the core area, bark beetle measures are taken where necessary, and plantations are established where in order to encourage the natural development of the forest. To protect these beech and oak groves, national park wildlife management is required. Accusations that private or state hunts had taken place in the park turned out to be unfounded.<ref>Pressemeldung des Nationalparks Harz: [http://www.lifepr.de/pressemeldungen/nationalpark-harz/boxid-23238.html Keine „DDR-Staatsjagd unter dem Brocken“]</ref>
