Master Mind




Nature conservation aims at biological diversity. Each species demands specific habitats for survival. Nature protection agencies therefore put a lot of effort to create, restore or conserve those particular habitats. Is the idea of biological diversity substituting the idea of wild nature? Clear is that more nature reservations in this aspect resemble gardens or even fabrics.

"Because we have a very small country and there’s little room for real nature."
