Tender for the Binding Prize for Biodiversity 2022: CHF 100,000 for biodiversity in settlement areas
For the second time, the Sophie and Karl Binding Foundation is calling for project submissions for the "Binding Prize for Biodiversity". It is looking for exemplary actors who can effectively promote biodiversity in settlement areas with their project. The most convincing project receives prize money of CHF 100,000. Compared to the last call, the criteria have been made more precise.
With the Biodiversity Prize, the Sophie and Karl Binding Foundation is looking for groundbreaking, inspiring projects in settlement areas that have brought about a high level of biological diversity. With the second call, she wants to find new role models that show how modern, densely built settlement areas can be combined with the promotion of native flora and fauna. In particular, solutions are sought that can also be transferred to other locations, are therefore scalable and have a broad impact. Projects that have produced innovative, integrative and effective solutions thanks to the involvement of different actors are particularly desirable.
Promoting health and quality of life with biodiversity
A lot can be done for biological diversity in the planning, construction and maintenance of properties and areas. Green spaces designed close to nature make a contribution to climate protection and adaptation, increase the attractiveness of the location, contribute to recreation and health promotion or stimulate social encounters. Approaches of this kind, which combine the promotion of biodiversity with an increase in the quality of life, are in demand.
