INSECT RESPECT stands for a new way of dealing with insects.

We create awareness for the value of the six-legged creatures, create new habitats and change society. Join in – because everyone can do something for insects.

As the platfrom had already pointed out the connection between biodiversity loss and epidemics in 2019. The new needs new spaces, which Insect Respect makes visible in this activity report.

Transformation for Biodiversity

INSECT RESPECT® is a Finalist for the 13th German Sustainability Award.

Insect-friendly Habitats

The INSECT RESPECT® compensation and partner areas offer insects retreats with food, hiding places and overwintering opportunities. These undisturbed habitats give the six-legged creatures space for reproduction and the opportunity to reach other habitats more easily („stepping stones“).

How to radically and consistently re-manage.

In retrospect, the transformation of the traditional company Reckhaus is hard to believe. Against all odds and doubters, Hans-Dietrich Reckhaus transforms his insecticide company into a company that saves insects. In „Let fly. How to radically and consistently re-manage“ the founder describes the story of radical change as a commitment to an ecologically sustainable future – starting with the smallest residents on the planet.
