"reNature - restoring biodiversity"

Œuvre is pleased to announce the results of its "reNature – Restoring Biodiversity" call for projects. Launched on October 10, 2023, this call aimed to support any action aimed at protecting and/or improving biodiversity in Luxembourg, in a context where human activities have a harmful impact on ecosystems.

The degradation of biodiversity, resulting in part from climate change, pollution, and deforestation, is a global problem that requires urgent action. Therefore, the call for projects sought to mobilize concrete and positive initiatives in this direction in Luxembourg.

At the end of the project submission deadline on January 10, 2024, the Organization received a total of 61 applications, demonstrating a strong interest from the community in biodiversity conservation.

The jury, composed among others of external experts, met on February 26, 2024 and carefully examined each of the requests. At its meeting on March 6, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Organization gave final approval to 32 projects.

The selected initiatives cover a wide range of topics: agriculture, animal species and plant species, water, rivers and lakes, insects and pollinators, and awareness.

A total amount of €566,772.98 has been allocated to this call for projects. This exceeding of the initial budget of €500,000 demonstrates the commitment of the organization to effectively support these biodiversity conservation initiatives.
 

The selected project holders will be contacted as soon as possible.

Œuvre Nationale would like to thank all participants for their ideas and initiatives in favor of our environment and hopes that these projects will contribute to a more sustainable future for all.
