Jähnig; Josef Kaiser; Tanja GM. Sanders; Pia Sommer; Thilo Wellmann; Peter Keil; Heidi Wittmer

The authors analysed 22 case studies of biodiversity-enhancing societal processes and projects in Germany to identify barriers and success factors, as well as features that support transformative change towards sustainability and the mainstreaming of biodiversity. They identified 16 features that support transformative change for biodiversity, many relevant beyond Germany.
