Implementation activities
216 micro wilderness patches (green walls, green road stretches, small green spaces) were identified, mapped and assessed all over Bonn, 10 of these spaces were selected as public educational sites, where signs were installed to inform about the ecological and cultural-historical value of the sites and the role of rich plant and animal species for urban environments. Some of these wilderness areas were renewed and repopulated with local plant seeds (2, 3).

5. Innovation
Type of innovation
Novelty level of the innovation
Please specify novelty level of the innovation
I would not say that the project itself is considered an innovation per se, especially because it was initiated by an institution aiming at preserving the cultural and natural heritage, so innovation might not be a preference.
Replicability/Transferability
Please specify Replicability/Transferability
There are other similiar projects in other cities, however nothing is known about they are using the same approach.
