The agricultural landscape still retains the enormous natural richness of species. Many agricultural areas are included in protected landscape areas and national park buffer zones. The natural diversity of the Polish countryside should be treated as a special value, worth preserving and caring for. Hence, it is necessary to shape the ecological awareness of rural inhabitants and common education on the importance of biodiversity for the well-being of present and future generations.
Scheduled activities for the project:
• 20 two-day traditional training courses and a new edition of e-learning training for professionals
• Reprint and distribution of the 3-volume series of publications "Biodiversity of rural areas"
• Competition "Map of the richness of rural biodiversity" for school children and residents
• Educational stands at agricultural fairs, festivals etc.
• Updating and running the www.bogactwowsi.pl portal
• Project profile on the Facebook community portal
The project aims to increase the awareness of the inhabitants of rural areas in the subject of biodiversity protection in agricultural areas, in particular in the context of climate change.
The target group of the project are all inhabitants of rural areas, in particular farmers, students and employees of local government units.
The Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences:
