Conservation efforts aimed at protecting the environment. - "each square meter makes a difference": battling insect demise

Approximately more than fifty "Blühen Ambassadors" and "Blühen Ambassador" trainees will soon be influencing the Main-Kinzig-Kreis region with the aim of creating a vibrant environment for vital insects such as bees. Nearly two-thirds of these advocates have already began to promote the importance of an insect-friendly vegetation in the most densely populated area of Hesse through the sharing of practical suggestions for flora that accommodate bugs.

The significance of biodiversity is emphasized by Christine Seidel, project manager of "Main.Kinzig.Blüht.Netz", as she stresses that "if insects vanish, no more strawberries or apples will thrive in your garden; this ultimately would result in the scarcity of various food sources. The considerable portion of pollination - even in agriculture - is charged to wild bees, butterflies, flies, wasps, and beetles. The entire ecosystem will be disrupted if insects go missing."

Garden enthusiasts can contribute to insect survival by planting helpful flora. "Every square meter makes a difference," mentions Bernd Leutnant, leader of the department for environment and conservation in the lower authority of the district's nature preservation department.
