Biodiversität und Artenschutz im Garten Hide

The Ecological-Botanical Garden and the government of Upper Franconia, together with nature conservation associations and scientists, have conceived an exhibition that shows the importance of gardens and especially the botanical garden for the protection of biodiversity and the preservation of endangered plant and animal species, as well as providing practical tips and advice on how everyone can increase diversity in their own garden at home. The exhibition has been designated an official UN project.

Moose im ÖBG Hide

The students Thomas Pickel and Simon Streit, together with Eduard Hertel, the old master of cryptogamy in Bayreuth, have voluntarily produced a 109-page brochure on moss flora in the ÖBG. They were able to identify 125 (!) moss species in the garden, many of which are rare and endangered in natural habitats.

An impressive example of how gardens can contribute to the protection and preservation of biodiversity. 40 of the species are presented in detail and well illustrated in the booklet.

The brochure is available at the ÖBG for 7€.
