The Main-Kinzig district is implementing the "Main.Kinzig.Blüht.Netz" project as part of the federal biodiversity program. Areas that are in public ownership are to be optimized from a nature conservation perspective. These include, for example, roadsides and field margins. These areas are to be enhanced in terms of nature conservation by sowing flowering mixtures, thus providing insects with food sources and possibly also habitats.
In parallel to the activities on the areas, "flowering ambassadors for insect diversity" will be trained in courses. They are to act as advisors, multipliers, contact persons and caretakers on site and carry on and implement the project idea in the long term.
Various people in the communities are involved in the project. Through knowledge transfer and practical nature conservation work, the importance of biodiversity is to be communicated to these people and their awareness of it is also to be increased. The IfLS evaluates
- to what extent the implementation of the courses for the flower ambassadors leads to an increase in knowledge, and
- to what extent increases in awareness of biodiversity are achieved among the people involved in the communities through knowledge transfer and practical nature conservation work.
