Support nature conservation in Thuringia
The Thuringian Slate Mountains cover an area of about 700 km² in south-eastern Thuringia. As part of the combined project, some funds will be used to protect the fragile forest ecosystems of this low mountain range. In this way, intensively used forests are returned to their natural state, mixed forests are created, the amount of dead wood is increased and nesting sites are provided. This will improve the habitat for rare species such as the capercaillie and the fire salamander.
Nature conservation in Thuringia, climate and health protection in Nigeria
The nature conservation project in the Thuringian Slate Mountains is combined with a certified climate protection project in Nigeria. This project provides efficient cooking stoves, thereby improving health conditions for families. 87% of the Nigerian population – particularly those living in poverty – have no access to clean cooking facilities and often use inefficient open fires. The resulting smoke is particularly harmful to the health of women, who are traditionally responsible for cooking. On the initiative of local women, a climate protection project was therefore launched to provide clean, efficient cooking stoves. The stoves produce less smoke, reduce cooking time and lower the need for fuel – saving both time and money. At the same time, this saves around 604,520 tonnes of CO₂ annually.
How the nature conservation project helps
