Beetles LIFE A small step for man, a giant leap for the charismatic beetle! – Layman´s Report – Project activities and results 2018–2023

The Beetles LIFE project improved the habitats of eight threatened or near-threatened beetle species in nature reserves. During the nature project, we burned forests, filled in ditches in drained mires, increased the amount of dead wood and helped aspen saplings grow. These are all effective methods for the benefit of beetles and, at the same time, countless other forest inhabitants.

Beetles cannot speak for themselves or for their environment. That is why we used art to communicate. Beetles are beautiful, mysterious and special creatures – in other words, a wonderful source of inspiration.
