“Thriving spaces for insects” is the rough translation of Blühende Bänder – Insektenländer, an innovative conservation project in Bavaria’s Altötting district, in which Wacker Chemie AG is participating in partnership with the local Altötting Landscape Conservation Association (Landschaftspflegeverband LPV Altötting e.V.). The project got the go-ahead in early 2021 and after a year is making good progress, as the partners reported at an on-site event.
