Houses for insects

Insects are an integral part of a normal, healthy and stable ecosystem. They are part of the food chain as feed for birds and amphibians, and pollination of plants is impossible without insects. But in the face of aggressive urbanisation, there is a growing problem of diminishing natural habitats for insect breeding and living.

Man-made insect houses will provide a breeding ground and become a shelter for a variety of insect species. People and children will also be able to observe them and learn about the insects’ way of life.

Project results

With the help of our Foundation, insect houses are functioning successfully.

Five insect houses were built together with children: (i) at Novopecherska School in Kyiv; (ii) at the “Bukovynska Dream” children’s camp in the Chernivtsi region; (iii) during the TuzLim-2019 summer children’s expedition in Tuzlivski Lymany National Nature Park, Odesa region.

The project is planned to be scaled up.
