This document summarizes cooperation between an archaeology organization (AÖZA) and an environmental organization (BUND) in Albersdorf, Germany. The two organizations will combine resources to provide additional information offerings to the public about archaeology and nature conservation. They started cooperating 10 months ago. Their demonstration area will include single objects showcasing nature protection, like insect hotels and stone/branch piles. They also have concepts for a half-open pasture to protect endangered species, using various livestock. Both organizations aim to explain the past and its impact on the future, and educate the public about biodiversity's importance for a sustainable future.
