Ecological competence center Oldenburg receives 250,000 euros in funding!

Oldenburg, Deutschland - The ecological competence center Oldenburger Land (ÖKOL) recently received a significant financial grant of 250,000 euros. This funding was announced by the Weser-Ems Regional State Development Office and is part of the Lower Saxony program "Future regions in Lower Saxony". This program aims to promote cross-district cooperation in the region and is supported by the Lower Saxony Ministry of Federal and Europe affairs. The funds are used to create development and measures plans and are part of the “Zukunfts- Region 4 Klima” project, which is supported by the districts of Ammerland, Cloppenburg, Oldenburg and Vechta.

What is behind the program? The “Future Regions in Lower Saxony” initiative has a budget of a total of 96 million euros from EU funds. Between 2021 and 2027, counties and cities can apply for funding, with the projects covering a wide range of topics, from biological diversity to social participation. For ÖKOL, this not only means a financial boost, but also the possibility of actively working with farmers to develop measures for more biological diversity in rural areas.

a versatile plan for the region

The use of the funding will help find practical solutions for important aspects of nature and climate protection. The close cooperation with farmers underlines how important it is to promote sustainable methods in agriculture. This joint campaign could serve as a model for other regions in Lower Saxony, as well as in the interaction of nature conservation and agriculture, which the Lower Saxony State Operation for Water Management, Coastal and Nature Conservation (NLWKN) drives forward.

The NLWKN offers a variety of programs to secure the variety of landscapes, species and habitats. For example, from 2023, a new program for agricultural environment and climate measures (AUKM) will be available, which is specifically committed to innovative forms of cooperation. These developments are of great importance for the success of initiatives such as the "Future region 4 Klima". After all, the long -term preservation of habitats and biological diversity is not an easy undertaking, but requires complex and well -thought -out strategies.

A look into the future

by 2028, the region has around 5 million euros available for similar projects, which makes the course for numerous further improvement measures. This is not only a profit for the environment, but also for the quality of life of the residents in the affected counties. Sustainable development and responsible use of natural resources are the key to ensuring our environment for future generations.

For further information on the funding opportunities in nature conservation in Lower Saxony, interested parties can visit the offer of the Lower Saxony Ministry for the Environment, Energy and Climate Protection as well as the platform of the NLWKN. There are numerous options that aim to protect nature and to make agriculture more sustainable.

When it comes to further developing the region and at the same time paying attention to nature, projects such as that of the “Future region 4 Climate” are not only a step in the right direction, but also set a sign of regional engagement. As you can see, there is a lot to do and even more potential that is only waiting to be exploited.
