Nature, not Nationalism – Protecting Alpine Forests responsibily

Onderstaande informatie komt direct van onze partnerorganisatie en wordt daarom niet in het Nederlands weergegeven.

Many plant species have been introduced by humans to areas that they are not native to, also in the mountains of Tyrol in the Austrian Alps. These non-native plants often are a threat for the delicate balance of local ecosystems and biodiversity, competing with native plant species. However, the language of invasive species has been abused for harmful right-wing politics. The link between ecological conservation and anti-foreigner rhetoric is not just an unfortunate linguistic coincidence—it has historical roots in National Socialist ideology. By participating in this camp, you will contribute to meaningful conservation work while engaging in discussions about ethical, indigenous and anti-racist approaches to ecology.
