Insect Responsible Sourcing Regions: Bringing insect conservation to the field
The population of insects in Germany is dwindling - and at an alarming rate. In the project "Insect Responsible Sourcing Regions", the Global Nature Fund is involved in developing solutions for a new culture of insect protection in dialogue with agriculture. The goal is a strategy that proves effective not only at the farm level, but also at the landscape level. A press release from our partner Lake Constance Foundation provides information on the start of the project.
