The influence of young people in nature conservation
And the importance of this commitment cannot be underestimated. The German Youth Nature Conservation Prize has set itself the goal of making young people's commitment to nature visible. Under the motto “Together for nature – young people shape the future!” From 2024 onwards, the prize will support concrete projects that support the preservation and sustainable use of biological diversity. The adult patron of this movement is the well-known children's book author Cornelia Funke. The application deadline for this national award is September 26, 2025.
This is where the best minds meet in their creative drive - and that's not just worth a few lines on paper, but can get a real movement rolling. The award-winning projects should not only have a local impact, but also encourage a broader public to take an active part in nature conservation. With a total of 10,000 euros in prize money, which will be distributed across around five projects, it shows that the promotion of young talent in nature conservation is very important.
Overall, there are many opportunities in Freiberg and beyond to become active and engage with the environment. It is a call to all young hearts who want to do something for their region and nature. Stop by, contribute your ideas and become part of the community that is committed to a greener future!
