Description

Wohlen, a large rural community near Bern, has won the WWF's prestigious biodiversity prize for doing more than any other Swiss community to promote flora and fauna. Farming methods have changed to promote hedge and wild flower growth, rivers have been renaturalized and reeds grown for wading birds. Even the cemetery has thrown off its straightjacket to become a wildlife oasis. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.ch)
