<Programme: ><Project Title: 'Citizens and Biodiversity in everyday life'>
<Financial Scheme: >
<Description: The Foundation for nature and human intends to put
forward the everyday link between man and biodiversity, and to make of
it the entry point of a new citizen approach. Within the framework of this project, the Foundation intends to initiate some research on how to improve and enlarge citizen's awareness regarding biodiversity. Because Biodiversity is everywhere
and not only confined in parks and natural reserves, because everyday, each human being depends on and has an influence on biodiversity and because Human is part of Biodiversity, to protect it is to protect the living and thus Human. In order to reach this objective, the project must implement pluridisciplinary researches to "develop tools to raise citizen's awareness to biodiversity"... and thus
to enable citizens to influence, initiate, and support real commitments from their elected representatives and political leaders in terms of research and action in favour of biodiversity.
The project intends to answer the question "How to make everyone feel
that, intheir everyday lives, they are linked and dependant to every
part of the living (Biodiversity)? "
To give a concrete dimension to the project, one of the basic
functions of human everyday life has been chosen: "To feed oneself".
The project could thus try to recreate the interdependence between the
citizen and the territory through the theme of "The plate". Indeed,
the citizen can be questioned on his link with the living (domestic
and wild), everyday renewed by his status of food consumer.
