Biodiversity on UZH sites

In the Implementation Strategy 2030 for the Sustainability Policy, UZH has set itself the goal of maintaining its sites according to criteria of high and site-appropriate biodiversity. For this purpose, the Executive Board has adopted the "Guideline Biodiversity on UZH Sites". The guideline's primary goal is to promote plant and animal biodiversity and to protect ecosystem functions and processes on the sites used by UZH. It contains general guidelines that apply to maintenance by both UZH employees and contracted third parties. Important topics include the enhancement of lawns, the use of own compost as fertilizer, green roofs, and the construction of shelters or nesting aids.
