Whilst individual biodiversity improvement measures within our parks are increasingly implemented either as part of the design phase or during ongoing retrofits of the green spaces, a distinguishing feature of biophilic design is its emphasis on the overall setting or habitat and not a single or isolated occurrence of nature. When taking into account an integrated design, the ecosystem performs at a level greater than the sum of its individual parts. 

At VGP Park München, we have made an ecological compensation area next to the park. The area has 24 hectares of fields, dry grasslands, flower strips and ponds. The northern part focuses on nature protection and the creation of habitats for amphibians, while the southern part focuses on the protection of special bird species, such as the endangered skylark. A great example of how we want to contribute to the conservation of the biodiversity and ecological balance of the communities where we operate.

At VGP Park Lliça d’Amunt, five beehives were installed on the rooftop, decorated with local plants and filled with a total of 250,000 bees to stimulate local biodiversity. The honey is collected by local beespecialists and donated to non profit organizations.
