FIDELIO

We have just launched a new survey in the wider area of the Black Forest National Park. 20,000 postcards have been sent to local households inviting them to participate in the survey by filling in a short questionnaire. The survey will remain open until 15th May 2021 and first results are expected to be published by mid June. The survey focuses on a number of important issues including the social impacts of the park, the impacts of COVID-19 on everyday lives, environmental values and trust in institutions.
