Biodiversity

Biodiversity encompasses the diversity of life on our planet: genetic diversity within species, the diversity of animal and plant species, and the diversity of habitats and ecosystems. Biodiversity also includes the numerous crop plants and livestock breeds that have been cultivated and bred for centuries. They form the basis for a diverse and balanced diet. In times of climate change and growing global challenges, this genetic diversity is becoming increasingly important for developing resilient and adaptable agricultural systems. 

Biodiversity also provides a wide range of other ecosystem services: it helps keep water, air, and soil clean, protects against natural disasters, regulates the climate, and supports human health and our general well-being. Without functioning ecosystems, a good life for present and future generations is unthinkable. 

However, biodiversity is declining dramatically. This decline is man-made. Population growth, economic pressure, environmentally harmful incentives, armed conflicts, and global health risks such as pandemics are among the long-term drivers of this trend. They lead to concrete, direct pressures on natural habitats: land use changes, intensive exploitation of resources, climate change, air, water and soil pollution, and the spread of invasive species are severely affecting biodiversity, both on land and in the sea.

Advising, analysing, organising, promoting

As a project management agency, we support national, European, and international projects dedicated to the protection, sustainable use, and restoration of biodiversity. We contribute our expertise in numerous areas, from strategic consulting to support for funding programs. In particular, we assist our clients in designing and implementing new funding announcements, with a special focus on innovative research approaches and forward-looking solutions.
For us, the protection of biodiversity is a central component of transformative change toward sustainable economic and social structures. Nature-based solutions that combine ecological, social, and economic benefits are essential for the restoration of biodiversity.
