For three years now, KomBioTa has been organizing the BANU Certification Field Botany at the University of Hohenheim in cooperation with the Academy for Nature Conservation and Environmental Protection of the Ministry for the Environment, Climate Protection and Energy Sector Baden-Württemberg.
On Saturday, July 1, well-prepared species connoisseurs came to the Hohenheim Gardens to prove their field botanical knowledge and to receive the coveted certificate.
A total of 30 certificates could be awarded this year, 20 of them in bronze and 10 in silver. Congratulations!
The background to the BANU certificates is to establish uniform nationwide standards in knowledge transfer. The certificate provided by the Nationwide Working Group of State-Supported Environmental Education Centers (Arbeitskreis der staatlich getragenen Umweltbildungsstätten) (BANU) is awarded for numerous subject areas, such as grasses, birds, amphibians or reptiles throughout Germany. This is intended to ensure high-quality, broad-based environmental education in our society and to promote the associated ecological thinking as a prerequisite for successful economic action.
