Dr. Unterweger Biodiversitätsplanung

Dr Unterweger Biodiversity Planning is a consultancy firm specialising in sustainable biodiversity development. The main focus of the consultancy is on local authorities and the public sector throughout the German-speaking world. Industry, agriculture and private clients are further fields of activity in the biodiversity dialogue.

Dr Philipp Unterweger studied biology and German language and literature at the University of Tübingen. He is a founding member of the ‘Colourful Meadow Initiative’ and completed his dissertation on the hibernation of insects in urban environments as part of this student initiative in 2018. In addition to entomo-ecological studies, he built a bridge to social research by incorporating the acceptance of nature conservation measures in the immediate human living environment into his work. This combination of ecology and social research emphasised his desire to represent biodiversity conservation not as a typical forest edge issue, but as a challenge in our immediate living environment.

 Committed to biodiversity:

The core component of Dr Unterweger's biodiversity planning consultancy is the direct commitment to sustainable biodiversity. Social, economic and ecological aspects of biodiversity are synergistically linked and reflect the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. The consultations range from classic ‘bees and flowers’ topics to far-reaching and as yet unthought-of concepts, which are reflected in the mission to restore ecosystems. Crazy ideas are welcome, so it can happen that cows are suddenly grazing on the roof or a much-loved sunbathing lawn disappears under pitch-black charcoal.

To advise is to accompany:

Although mayflies are an outstanding insect order for determining water quality, Dr Unterweger Biodiversity Planning's advice is not a one-off. We focus on long-term concepts based strictly on the agricultural approach: Farming, sowing, tending, harvesting and celebrating. Biodiversity is an organic and ongoing process. Projects to increase biodiversity need trust and support. For this reason, the biodiversity dialogue is always multi-phase and usually runs over a longer period of time.

Biodiversity concerns us all:

Biodiversity is a permanent state. We have often forgotten to love and value it. For this reason, I would like to get involved with my network at Biodiversity in Good Company. I believe that the sum of these players can create a great dynamic that makes our world liveable and lovable every day anew.
