Warming up to Biodiversity

How can we, as educational institutions, help students1 feel the importance of biodiversity? How can we stimulate a sense of wonder for nature and ecosystems, help develop nature awareness? How can we engage not only the head and hands, but also the heart? All these questions relate to the intrinsic motivation to work toward restoring biodiversity. On 1 October 2024, a group of teachers from different schools and educational levels joined forces to share didactic methods for “warming up to biodiversity.”
