We see it again and again: When nature is allowed to unfold itself, it also creates space for people to gain a foothold.  

Every year, we invite over 400 young people out under the trees as a part of an initiative called “Nature for a Good Life.” Here, young people in contact with the social system have the opportunity to get in touch with nature – and oneself. 

Biodiversity is a big word. Therefore, we cut it down to three things: species, habitats, and genetics. Species are everything that crawls, grows, swims, flowers, and buzzes in Danish nature. From oak trees and squirrels to fungi, owls, and bacteria. It is not just species in themselves but also the place in which they live: forests, meadows, commons, bogs, streams, seas, and lakes. And the network of relations in which everything works together – in which one species gives life to another. Finally, biodiversity is the genetic variation within a species.
