Belgian Biodiversity Alliance
Projects
Voluntary engagements
The Belgian Biodiversity Alliance mobilises the Belgian society in a concrete way in the fight against biodiversity loss in Belgium and beyond our borders through voluntary commitments. Here you can find the list of all projects and initiatives that were submitted through the website. You can filter by objective and location.
The indirect and direct drivers and pressures on biodiversity are well known and need to be at the center of any further efforts to conserve and sustainably use biodiversity. This requires dedicated efforts throughout society and is dependent on cooperation at all levels and between all sectors.
On this page you will find some successful examples of projects and actions for biodiversity. In this part we are highlighting existing initiatives in order to inspire anyone to take action.
Projects and initiatives
Wetlands4Cities
Wetlands4Cities is a project by Natuurpunt in collaboration with Ecover,
Forestbase
Forestbase est un précurseur dont l'ambition est de montrer au monde la vraie valeur financière de la nature.
Travaux d’infrastructures et biodiversité
The streets Zilverberkstraat and Leeuwerikstraat form an existing part of the town, but were completely redone. An ideal opportunity to rethink the approach to stormwater.
Make stormwater runoff from buildings more sustainable
There are also many service buildings within Aquafin's patrimony. These need to be systematically renovated.
Enhancing local biodiversity
Aquafin has more than 200 wastewater treatment plants in Flanders. Since 2021, all these plants are being converted into fully biodiverse locations and maintained as such.
Greening the wastewater pumping stations
Our aim is to reduce the amount of concrete used. Less pavement means greater infiltration and a reduction in the warming effect.
Solar panels and biodiversity
Aquafin is a large consumer of electricity and made the choice several years ago to use only green and renewable electricity.
Organic farm 'Natuurboerderij Bolhuis'
La ferme naturelle « Het Bolhuis » est une ferme d'élevage biologique qui travaille en étroite collaboration avec « Natuurpunt » et « Agentschap voor Natuur en Bos » (ANB).
Accelerating the transition to agroecology
The project consists of disseminating the agroecological system to farmers and other actors in the food chain. Its aim is to engage all Walloon farmers in an agroecological transition by 2030.
Wolvenberg
