According to the World Bank, around 56% of the world’s human population now lives in cities. If you are one of the majority in an urban environment, you might wonder what you can do to play your part in tackling the crisis of biodiversity loss.
For all its picture-perfect scenery, Switzerland also has plenty of residents whose only outdoor spaces are small gardens, balconies or window boxes. A Rocha Switzerland works to inspire people to use even the tiniest places as opportunities to grow diverse flora and fauna. These create essential habitats and food sources for wild animals, birds and insects, as well as improving human quality of life with their beauty.
A Rocha runs workshops and advisory services for groups of neighbours, families and church groups. The team will assess the space and offers advice, sending the group a plan as follow up. They also lead on-site activities such as building insect hotels, setting up hedgehog shelters or planting shrubs.
