Inauguration of the information board: protection for the carp pond in Treptower Park

In the heart of Berlin, more precisely in Treptower Park, an important event will take place on August 28, 2024: the inauguration of a new information board that connects not only nature but also the community. Initiatives such as the Kungerkiezinitiative e.V. have teamed up in order to campaign for the preservation of the carp pond worth protecting.

a joint project to protect nature

The carp pond is a small but important habitat with a high ecological value. In view of the increasing amounts of visitors, some of which are traveling with dogs, the pond is increasingly at risk from noise and human behavior. To counteract this, residents set themselves the goal of starting an information campaign more than two years ago. The background was the dissatisfaction with unattractive prohibition signs, which were quickly ignored and frequently vandalized.

The importance of the new information board

The new information board is more than just a sign: it is intended to ask people to take responsibility for nature. Led by the nature educator Morla Meyer and supported by expertise from the Bund Naturschutz, the board describes the need to protect their habitats from the perspective of the animals living there. By moving the local animal species into the spotlight, the table conveys in an inviting and understandable way what everyone can contribute to protecting the carp pond.

public inauguration with surprises

The inauguration of the table takes place in a festive atmosphere on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, at 11:30 a.m. on the north bank of the pond. Some guests of honor, including the district councilor Dr. Claudia Leistner will speak words of thanks and recognition. For those present, there will not only be a refreshing reception with drinks, but also musical contributions that will lively make the event.

a sign of climate protection

This initiative is not just a local project, but also represents an important sign in the context of climate protection. The committed citizens who have come together as part of the “Prima Klima Lebensworld” project show how communal action can promote the protection of nature and the environment. The support from the district office Treptow-Köpenick was crucial to make this vision real.

conclusion: a small pond with great effect

The new information board on the carp pond will play an important role in sensitizing visitors and gaining them to protect this special biotope. The effort and dedication that residents have invested in this project underline the powerful connection between humans and nature. At a time when environmental issues are becoming increasingly pressing, this little occurrence could have a major impact on the community's awareness.
