Landscape Auction in Poland
In February 2010, the Landscape Auction was successfully
introduced in Poland! At an international conference on wetland
protection people were cheerfully bidding to landscape elements
from all over Poland. The emphasis was obviously on elements
from wetlands.
All items were sold among them were some unique experiences,
such as driving a mower, haymaking, but also safeguarding the
habitat for the aquatic warbler, a highly endangered bird.

Huge enthusiasm for Landscape Auction at SusCon
NUREMBERG – 15 June 2010 – A little hesitating at least forty
encouraged visitors of the SusCon (International Conference on
Sustainable Business and Consumption in Nuremberg) entered the
room for one of the many sessions of this conference. But this
one was different, there was something going to happen, here
every participant could personally make a difference for
biodiversity. This became clear soon during the presentation of
the landscape elements on offer. From a 20 Euros nest box for
Fort Hackfort in the Achterhoek (Netherlands), a living lawn
mower in Baden-Württemberg (Germany) for 105 Euros, till a
floating island for birds in La Mancha Húmeda (Spain) for 500
Euros. All seven offered elements were sold, some for much more
than the initial price.
To encourage the bidders even more, a photographer offered
every buyer spontaneously a beautiful picture of their purchased
object, an applepie will be made with the authentic fruit tree
for Gelderland and to the floating bird island a tour will be
organized for all the bidders.
This Landscape Auction was organized by Triple E together with
Global Nature Fund as a part of the EU Business&Biodiversity
Campaign.
