In August 2020, the Bees & Trees Foundation decided to support the Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) in its mission to protect native and endangered harbor porpoises.
With a petition initiated by marine conservation activist Maximilian Gabriel, WDC and Deutsche Umwelthilfe, we demand that Federal Minister of Agriculture Julia Klöckner immediately ban gillnets from protected areas.
Wild bees and other flower pollinators play an elementary role in our ecosystem, as many plants depend on them and so do many animals and we humans.
Together with marine biologist Fabian Ritter, the petition for the protection of harbour porpoises with over 100,000 signatures was handed over to those responsible at the Federal Ministry on 22 September 2021.
Since June 2021, Bees & Trees has been supporting Sea Shepherd in the fight against illegal, re-regulated and undocumented (IUU) fishing in the Mediterranean Sea by providing a drone swarm.
Bees & Trees is a non-profit foundation of the Rosslenbroich family. Donations, endowments and active help are welcome.
