2. Objectives of the intervention
Goals of the intervention
1. Raise awareness of students about the importance of biodiversity conservation concerning both plants and animals in cities (5).
2. Protect and enhancing biodiversity in urban contexts were spaces for the latter are getting scarcer and where biodiversity is constantly under threat due to development projects (3).
3. Showcase options for fostering diverse habitats on small urban spaces to preserve and enhance urban biodiversity (1, 3).
4. Enhance a feeling of ownership for the garden and the wider role in sustainable development based on personal identification with the project's interventions (1).

Sustainability challenge(s) addressed
Habitats and biodiversity conservation: What types of conservation goals are / were defined for the NBS intervention?
Habitats and biodiversity conservation: What activities are implemented to realize the conservation goals and targets?
Implementation activities
- In the course of the project, biodiversity-enhancing interventions formed at four different locations in Leipzig.
- Guided by association's environmental pedagogues (Ökolöwe) and the "Geowerkstatt Leipzig", students of different ages (from 4 to 18) installed for the long.-term use:
- a herbs garden with optimal temperature, humidity, light and soil conditions for each plant
- a stone garden for plants that require dry conditions
- an insect hotel (beehive) with breeding tubes of varying diameter to suit different insect types
- raised beds, demonstrate that plant diversity is also possible on sealed surfaces; through layers of different materials decomposition is enhanced and heat supply provided from below for plants to thrive.
- In addition to that for the duration of the day of the Catholics in May, 100 mobile raised beds with diverse flowers vegetables and herbs were installed for display at a square for residents and tourists to try and imitate (1, 2, 3, 4).
