Orcase construction in Austria: UNESCO Honorary Prize for the preservation of nature!
Zell an der Pram, Österreich - Austria has achieved a significant cultural victory: the orchard was officially included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. This official award took place on December 6, 2024 in the historical Zell Castle on the Pram , where MP Manfred Hofinger celebrated the award. He emphasized the efforts and values of the people who have fought for decades to maintain this valuable cultural landscape. "Orchards are not only a source for tasty fruit, but also essential for biodiversity and CO2 storage," he said enthusiastically. The inclusion in the world heritage list is intended to counteract the dramatic decline in orchards, which fell from 35 million trees to around 4.2 million in the 1930s.
