Our planet is sick. More and more alarm bells are ringing every day. Global warming is causing extreme weather conditions and has profound consequences on agriculture and our food supply. In our oceans, fish are being replaced by plastic. Deforestation and desiccation continue to happen. Pandemics are the cherry on top of a cake that is getting more burnt by the day.

Luckily there is a cure to this illness plaguing mother Nature: BIODIVERSITY!
Biodiversity provides a buffer against further warming of the climate, gives oceans and soils the breathing room to recover and is the best medicine against emerging diseases. It takes care of us and our planet! While large areas are required for certain species, it is becoming increasingly clear that small-scale nature areas can also make an important contribution. They do not have to be far from our bed to be meaningful.
