Nature, climate and biodiversity
Protection of natural habitats and biodiversity helps preserve threatened
natural areas and wild species of plants and animals. Energy and raw materials are
limited resources and should be used sparingly. You can also help fight climate
change by reducing your energy consumption and by choosing a resource-conserving
heating system or building style.
