    Around the world, 22 May is celebrated
    as International Biodiversity Day. This
    day reminds us of the importance of
    biodiversity – the natural wealth that
    includes the diversity of all genes, species
    and ecosystems – to human society and
    the planet. Protecting nature’sdiversity
    is crucial for coping with climate change,
    limiting the spread of new diseases
    and ensuring food and water security.
    Although human activity is reducing
    overall species diversity, you can observe
    the state of biodiversity on asmall
    scale: in aregion, amountain valley, lake
    waters, aforest, apatch of meadow or
    even just your garden.
    The transformation of Czech forests
    Aprime example of the low resilience of
    aspecies-poor environment is the bark
    beetle calamity that started 20years
    ago in northern Moravia. It has since
    progressed westwards through the
    country, escalating during the dry and
    warm years of 2014–2018. Although
    it has weakened, it has not yet ended.
    This calamity has caused considerable
    damage in the Czech Republic, leaving
    the harvested spruce forests looking
    devastated. However, research by Czech
    scientists has brought surprisingly good
    news: Nature is recovering, biodiversity
    has increased significantly, and bark
    beetle–infested economic forests,
    including clearings and newly planted or
    spontaneously developing clearings, are
    teeming with life. Unexpectedly, dozens
    of critically endangered, red-listed
    species of animals and plants have also
    appeared.
    So, if we want not only the forest but
    also our garden to be beautiful, healthy
    and productive, we must respect every
    living creature and strive to establish
    abiological balance. This means that
    soil, micro-organisms, plants and
    animals are in abalanced relationship
    with each other. Such agarden then
    becomes asmall miracle – afunctioning
    ecosystem.
    Initiatives of the carmaker
    Škoda Auto actively supports actions
    aimed at protecting and promoting
    biodiversity and ecosystems. The
    company is investing in essential
    measures to mitigate biodiversity loss
    and climate change. To uphold all its
    commitments, it maintains and plants
    biodiverse green spaces (through the
    Škoda Trees programme) and manages
    206.7 hectares of biodiverse forest
    on its test track, which supports the
    ecosystems that depend on this green
    space, including vulnerable pollinators. To
    monitor risks and impacts, Škoda Auto
    maintains alist of protected areas and
    biodiversity hotspots within 10 km of its
    production sites and avoids forest land
    when selecting sites for development
    projects, preferring to invest in existing or
    disused sites.
    The carmaker regularly cooperates
    with the local Czech Union for Nature
    Conservation and the Krkonoše National
    Park Authority on its projects. In 2022,
    with the help of employee volunteers,
    it created anew area dedicated to
    biodiversity near the Administrative
    Centre in Mladá Boleslav. Last year, the
    Škoda Auto sites in Kosmonosy, Na
    Karmeli and Kvasiny saw the installation
    of insect houses, providing ahome for
    common insects like ladybirds, green
    lacewings and earwigs, which are
    beneficial in pest control without using
    chemical products. Bumblebees and
    solitary bees, which pollinate mainly fruit
    trees, also benefit from these houses.

    Krakonoš’s
    gardens
    The carmaker also
    supports anumber of
    projects through the grant
    programme Krakonoš
    Gardens of the Škoda Auto
    Foundation. For example,
    in 2023, projects were
    implemented focusing
    on the return of critically
    endangered species to the
    landscape, the construction
    of new pools in the
    Dymokurské meadows
    nature monument and the
    village of Vlčí Pole in the
    Mladá Boleslav region. At
    these sites, conservationists
    have now recorded rare
    amphibians – the European
    tree frog, the fire-bellied
    toad, the common toad,
    the smooth newt, the agile
    frog, and the common frog.
    Another of the supported
    projects focuses on the
    return of the critically
    endangered Apollo butterfly
    to Czech nature.
    Tip
    Did you know...
    ... up to 80% of plants are
    pollinated by insects and
    almost 90% of crops for
    human food come from
    flowering plants? This
    underscores the importance
    of protecting insects, even
    in cities. Insect houses
    oer these tiny creatures
    ample shelter and aplace to
    lay their larvae, attracting
    them even to typical urban
    developments.
