What Factors Influence a
Commitment to Act Sustainably at a Local
and Global Level?
Moritz Busse & Susanne Menzel
The loss of biodiversity at the level of genes, species, and ecosystems proceeds at an alarming rate (Mittermaier et al., 2004). Most countries of the world have therefore decided to become a member of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD, 1992) and protect biodiversity on a local, national and
global level. Education has been acknowledged a key measurement to implement biodiversity protection in all countries.
Many projects in the working group of Didactics of Biology at Osnabrück University aim at providing an empirical basis for biodiversity education. Exemplary questions that we address are, for example,
what young people already know or perceive in the context of biodiversity. How do they see and evaluate landscapes, and are particular landscape types adequate to be involved in educational
endeavors? What do future teachers know about biodiversity and biodiversity education? Are there cultural differences in the perception of biodiversity and its loss, especially when people from
industrialized countries are compared to those living at a biodiversity hotspot?
