a) Why should we care about this theme?
Biodiversity is of vital importance for Liechtenstein in several respects. For example, forests protect settlements at the foot of steep slopes from avalanches and landslides. Agricultural production is directly dependent on the condition of the soil, which is influenced by soil organisms. And ecosystem services, such as the provision of drinking water, are indispensable for the population’s well-being. However, Liechtenstein also benefits, in terms of landscape, from the wide variety of habitats that come together in an extremely small area. Proximity to scenic recreation areas is an important location factor for Liechtenstein as a business location. Biological diversity is today endangered by the concomitant effects of the successful economic development of the country, and there is a need for action.
