Tiroler Landesmuseen, MPreis

Background information

Did you know that flower meadows are valuable habitats for numerous plant and animal species? Around a third of flowering plants can be found in meadows. On average, around 10 animal species benefit from each plant species. This makes flower meadows one of the hotspots of biodiversity!

Precious meadow treasures still exist in Tyrol. Naturbesonderheiten vor unserer Haustüre warten auf Erkundung. Sechs Regionen Tirols wurden ausgewählt, um mit finanzieller Unterstützung der Europäischen Union die Biodiversität zu stärken. Together.

Project goals

• Exploring the natural treasures on our doorstep.
• Strengthening and shaping valuable habitats.
• Safeguarding the quality of life in the community.
• Strengthening and spreading of rare species.

Actions

• We are creating 30 citizen biotopes together with 72 local representatives of the population, science and (municipal) administration in six alliances across Tyrol.
• We propagate and spread rare plant species.
• We create new biotopes as havens of retreat and flourishing.
• We maintain existing natural habitats of rare plant species.
• We are taking measures to restore degraded habitats of endangered plant species.

Take part!

Your ideas and energy are needed to make our citizen biotopes lively and diverse.
