NaturVerbunden Styria – Working Together for Biodiversity
We humans need nature—with intact ecosystems. After all, fresh air, clean water, and fertile soil aren’t just “there.” Nature provides them for us.
For this to work, animals, plants, and microorganisms need suitable habitats. The so-called “blue-green infrastructure”—that is, the presence of bodies of water, meadows, forests, etc.—must be appropriate. And these habitats must be interconnected. This is because hedges, riparian woodlands, rows of trees, nutrient-poor meadows, solitary trees, orchard meadows, streams, and the like enable animals and plants to interact beyond their own biotopes. This ensures genetic diversity and the survival of species. If this biotope network—as it’s called in technical terms—functions properly, we all benefit from it.
The participants in the “Biodiversity Market” demonstrate how to successfully connect habitats. The beauty of it is that anyone can get involved and make a contribution—on their balcony, in their garden, in their community, in agriculture, hunting, and forestry, or at school. And that’s how we’ll work together to create a Styria that’s connected to nature!
