Competition 2025

Whether you're an avid hiker, a nature conservationist, or a garden lover, we all care about nature! It's a miracle of diversity, of which we are only a small part. Yet our way of life is largely responsible for the drastic decline in biodiversity—through the exploitation, destruction, and pollution of our environment. Pesticides are one of the many factors accelerating this decline.

 

But how much do you really know about pesticides? What's the situation here in Luxembourg? And do you know of any alternatives?

 

Test your knowledge with this quiz and with a little luck you could win great prizes!
