To my great dismay, I have to admit that the population has been fooled by its own federal government and certain political parties in the recent referendum.

Biodiversity is our living space, it's all that really matters if life is to continue in its natural state.

It's not just a question of money to improve this or that, it's also a state of mind that every citizen must adopt.

Example: I'm leaving my car in the garage this weekend and I'm using public transport, which is incredibly efficient in our country, and I'm simply avoiding being stuck in traffic at the same time.

It's a simple gesture for our biodiversity and probably an unsuspected way of being more relaxed during a journey. Give it a try, or renew this mode of transport...

And, of course, vote against freeway expansion.

Oops, magnificent: I killed two birds with one stone 😍👍

Economic benefits: Biodiversity is an asset for many sectors, including agriculture, tourism and health. Protecting biodiversity can therefore have a positive economic impact.

International commitment: Acceptance of this initiative would enable Switzerland to meet its international commitments to protect biodiversity, such as those made at the biodiversity conventions.


Local cooperation: It encourages local and regional initiatives to protect biodiversity, thereby strengthening the social fabric and community ties.

These arguments demonstrate the importance of the Biodiversity Initiative for the future of Switzerland's environment and the quality of life of future generations.
