Nature-oriented area

A “nature-oriented area” is an area dedicated primarily to nature preservation or restoration. They can be located on-site and include elements like roof, façade, water drainages designed, to promote biodiversity. Nature-oriented areas can also be located outside the organisation site provided that the area is owned or (co-)managed by the organisation and is primarily dedicated to promoting biodiversity.
