Children and young people's time in nature has halved over the last 20 years. At the same time, their ability to understand and learn about it is deteriorating. They miss out on understanding how life is connected and how we are ultimately dependent on nature. This is at odds with the fact that the challenges of the future are largely environmental (climate change, sustainable consumption and globalization).
One of the Botanical Garden's most important tasks is to inform and inspire people to learn more about nature. It is now planning an educational initiative aimed at children and young people. The project involves exhibitions, teaching and activities for all interested school children in 2015. The overall aim of the initiative is to increase children's interest in natural science.
