The focus lies on enhancing pollinating insects and biodiversity in municipalities, microplastic in water bodies and the internationel network Living Lakes. Overarching topics are the sensitisation, dialogue and networking of stakeholders as well as capacity building.
Current Projects
Clean Lakes, Clean Future
Verringerung des Eintrages von Mikroplastik in Gewässer durch Sensibilisierung und Implementierung von Lösungsansätzen.
Landschaft für Schmetterlinge und andere blütenbesuchende Insekten
Durch angepasstes Management von Grünflächen und die Schaffung neuer Strukturen sollen die Lebensbedingungen für blütenbesuchende Insekten in der Slowakischen Region Podpoľanie verbessert werden.
Living Lakes Biodiversity and Climate Project
The Living Lakes Biodiversity and Climate Project contributes to the conservation and restoration of lakes and wetlands and the protection of the biodiversity associated with them.
DeKko4Rest
The project analyzes conflict areas of different groups of actors in the forest such as recreationists, mountain bikers, hikers, foresters, forest workers, etc., promotes mutual understanding and actively contributes to the reduction of various conflicts of use in the forest (in number and scope) and to nature conservation in the forest.
Development and implementation of an internationally oriented certification system for peat substitutes
The project aims to develop a certification system for peat substitutes that verifies the ecological, social and economic sustainability of the various substitutes.
Flower Kids
Kids learn about different habitats, wild herbs and pollinating insects (with a focus on wild bees) in a playful and active way and are supported to get involved in biodiversity and wild bee protection in their living environment.
Living Lakes
The aim of the initiative Living Lakes is the protection of the worldwide water reserves. A study conducted by the UN shows, that over 1.4 billion People only have access to dirty water or to not enough water.
Finished Projects
Blue Lakes – Microplastics in Lakes
Reducing the input of microplastics into lakes: raising awareness and implementing solutions.
People – Bees – Biodiversity
The project focuses on the concept of „Blühbotschafter“: Ambassadors for a blooming landscape. Flower ambassadors are people who want to promote pollinators in their personal surrounding.
Blühendes Bodenseeland
With international partners around the Lake Constance and the cooperation with different stakeholders, we want to increase the amount of habitats and food sources for pollinating insects.
Small Water Bodies for the Lake Constance Region
Creating a network of small water bodies for amphibians and insects around Lake Constance. Linking and training the stakeholders. Fostering environmental education on small water bodies.
Netzwerk Blühender Bodensee
Network for a species and flower-rich Lake Constance region – creation of habitats and food sources for pollinating insects
Nature Experience for the Blind and Visually Impaired
Creating a stronger focus on nature experiences for blind and visually impaired people at Lake Constance and three other lakes in Germany.
