The Live Forever Young Forest Garden Project
Welcome to the study object "Live Forever Young Forest Garden"!
Today, natural forests are rare, as they often have to make way for human economic goals. This leads to the destruction of stable ecosystems, imbalances, and the use of chemicals to combat diseases. Nature is being controlled by others.
In contrast, in a healthy forest, nature is the driving force. Here, biodiversity (diversity of life) abounds, and the balance between new life and natural selection ensures a healing and nutrient-rich environment that is also important for human well-being.
Our research project is supported by scientists, physicians, naturopaths, agricultural experts, farmers, and indigenous peoples of Asia and the Americas. We combine modern science with the ancient wisdom of humanity. Over a period of 10 years, the project is dedicated to the restoration of biodiversity, its documentation, the revitalization of habitats, and the reintroduction of animal species. We investigate the connection between environmental health and human health. Our central question is: How does biodiversity influence public well-being and health? "Bios" stands for life, and "diversitas" for diversity and otherness. We also want to promote conscious learning from one's own experiences and active exploration in healthy nature.
The forest garden consists of two completely contrasting areas: On the one hand, there is a typical forest, created by humans and out of balance. On the other, you will find a completely natural and balanced habitat with a diverse range of species. This intact ecosystem illustrates how important the health of nature is for our own well-being. Here, you can consciously find peace, observe the flora and fauna, and collect herbs and medicinal plants. The forest garden teaches us that in nature, surrounded by its original flora and fauna, we are closer to our own originality than ever before.
Visitors to our project have the opportunity to consciously learn and experiment from their own experiences in both forests. They will recognize the healing power of nature, experience the splendor of colors and biodiversity, and absorb the soothing sounds. This will help them understand how strongly our own health depends on our environment.
Our method is based on experiential learning combined with forest gardening experience. We are supported by renowned scientists such as Dr. Le from California, head of the Vitalea Science Laboratory; Ms. Tran Ha, who brings Austronesian healing knowledge and is an expert in rewilding; Mr. Pierre Morrin, an agronomist from France; the First Mürztal Natural Healing Association; local farmers; and indigenous peoples from the Americas and Austronesia.
We cordially invite you to discover and explore this fascinating connection between humans and nature in our "Live Forever Young Forest Garden" study site. Be part of our mission to restore the balance of nature and raise awareness of the importance of biodiversity and environmental health.
