At the Hinterland of Things Conference 2023, we took our commitment to sustainability to the next level – together with our partner green account, we created a high-quality biotope the size of the event space itself. This isn’t just symbolic. It’s real impact – and it continues to grow. Since its creation, the biotope has been thriving, becoming a living example of how nature-based solutions can take root and flourish over time.
Headquartered in Bielefeld, green account connects landowners with investors to realize impactful environmental projects: from rewetting peatlands and planting hedgerows to establishing traditional orchards. Their Nature Credit System, based on the German eco-point model (§13 BNatSchG), makes nature investments measurable, secure, and transparent.
Most of the project area consists of species-poor farmland, previously used intensively for agriculture, especially for growing maize for the farm. In the northern section, there is a wooded area, and to the south, the land borders a stream embankment.
The aim is to transform the area in Brönninghausen into a high-quality and diverse ecosystem and to upgrade species-poor areas into biodiverse habitats and protected areas. To this end, a wide variety of measures are being taken to turn the project area into a wonderful biotope complex that is home to diverse animals and plants.
The biotope covers an area of 21.6 hectares, equivalent to 216,000 square meters.
At our conference, we are committed to sustainability through several key actions:
