  • The Craft2Biodiversity project examines the intersections between the skilled trades, biodiversity and sustainable development. The aim is to identify practical approaches that help craft businesses actively contribute to the conservation and promotion of biodiversity. To this end, traditional craft knowledge, technical expertise and specialist knowledge of nature conservation are being brought together. The focus is particularly on the links between biodiversity and energy efficiency, infrastructure, product improvement, new business models and social sustainability in the craft sector. The first step involves a stock-taking exercise and trend analysis to examine current craft practices in terms of their impact on biodiversity. This is followed by creativity workshops with pilot businesses to develop and implement concrete measures. Pilot businesses then develop and test innovative measures to promote biodiversity in creativity workshops. The project’s findings will be incorporated into practical training modules and a guide designed to help craft businesses embed biodiversity as an integral part of their sustainable operations.
