Mainau Island shows solidarity on the Day of the World's Indigenous People
With the symbolic watering of a yellow oleander as a sign of the climate partnership between the city of Konstanz and the Borari people, Countess Bettina Bernadotte, together with Mayor Uli Burchardt and the ProAmazonia association, celebrated the International Day of the World's Indigenous People on August 9 at an event in the palm house on the island of Mainau.
According to the United Nations, around 370 million people are counted among indigenous peoples worldwide. Their livelihoods are threatened by the increasing depletion of natural resources (legal and illegal), the consequences of climate change and the lack of recognition of their rights. Every year on August 9th the UN Day of Indigenous People draws attention to this. Another threat this year is the corona pandemic: indigenous associations have stated that more than 10,000 indigenous people are infected with the corona virus and that mortality in this group is almost twice as high as in the rest of the population.
On the initiative of the ProAmazonia Konstanz association, the Day of Indigenous People was officially celebrated in Konstanz for the first time on Sunday: In the Palm House on the island of Mainau, managing director countess Bettina Bernadotte and the Mayor of Konstanz, Uli Burchardt, jointly poured water to a yellow oleander, which from then on symbolizes the between between the city of Konstanz and the Brazilian Borari people. The plant originally comes from Peru, but is now native to the entire tropical region of South America and is considered a medicinal plant in the Amazon region. The framework of the event was provided by keynote speeches that provided information about the devastating situation of the rainforest and its indigenous population as well as aid projects.
“As a company that cares about sustainability and environmental protection, we are happy to support the ProAmazonia association in its valuable and important work, because indigenous people, especially in the Amazon, are the best guardians of the rainforests, their biodiversity and their important role for us World climate. Indigenous people worldwide deserve more attention and support, they maintain traditions and important cultures", explained countess Bettina Bernadotte.

A quarter of a century of partner branches: The cooperation between Deutsche Post and retailers turns 25
The partner branches that went online in 1995 will celebrate their 25th anniversary in 2020. Among them is the very special branch on the island of Mainau in Lake Constance. It's not just its location in the middle of the idyllic flower island that makes it so special, it also has exceptional opening times: "In order to be as economical as possible and to be able to offer a seven-day service, the partner branch was integrated into the souvenir shop", explains countess Bettina Bernadotte, managing director of Mainau GmbH. Visitors to the island can do their postal business there seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. "This means that the branch is open 365 days a year, which is a real record", says Björn Graf Bernadotte, who, like his sister, is the managing director of Mainau GmbH.

Only 500 instead of 1200 visitors per performance. A bill that only works if all three evenings of the musical open air on the island of Mainau are sold out. The Corona conditions do not allow more spectators to attend "Mamma Mia meets Udo Jürgens". The artists therefore come to meet the organizer in order to finally be able to be on stage again.

Count Björn Bernadotte and countess Bettina Bernadotte's husband Philipp Haug attended Symposium “Energy Systems in Transition - Opportunities for the Region” on the Mainau on 24th and 25th September.

The two-day conference "Energy Systems in Transition - Opportunities for the Region" this year focused on "Energy Policy and Society in Times of Climate Change" and "Environmental Psychology as a Adjustment Screw for Greater Acceptance" and "Current Energy Trends in Our Region". The focus was on practical examples of the energy transition that are worth emulating. The symposium was aimed at all interested persons, in particular at representatives of municipalities, nature conservation associations and multipliers from the energy and housing industry from the Lake Constance region and the surrounding area.
In his welcome address, Björn Graf Bernadotte, Managing Director of Mainau GmbH, emphasized the importance of energy policy today: “Around a third of CO2 emissions arise from the generation of energy and heat. That is why it is extremely important to show best practice examples that motivate people to imitate them: Because the local actors in the municipalities are the ones who implement the energy transition”, and Philipp Haug, the ecological advisor on the island of Mainau, added: “We should become aware of how big the adjustment screw is that we can turn. This year, Mainau adopted its first energy and climate protection concept, with the declared goal that the entire energy supply will be climate-neutral by 2030 ”.

Count Björn's and countess Bettina's greeting at the website of Mainau
"usually Mainau Island does not go into hibernation, but is open for visitors all year round. But everything is different this year: In order to curb the number of Covid-19 infections, further restrictions have been introduced by the federal and state governments. Therefore, Mainau Island will remain completely closed for the time being. Nevertheless, we are busy working behind the scenes and preparing the upcoming flower year for you."

She is currently working on Agenda 2040 for her island, among others with the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. 1.2 million people come to Mainau every year. She says: "We have always been moved by the question: How sustainable do we behave?"

Also countess Bettina Bernadotte welcomes initiative from "H2connect.eco"
"As a company that works in and with nature, we at Mainau have set ourselves the goal of working towards sustainability for our region and the environment. This field is very broad. For example, we want to sensitize our guests to environmentally friendly mobility alternatives. In our daily work on the island, too, we use environmentally friendly means of transport whenever possible. This network connects actors from the region and offers them a good opportunity to exchange ideas on these important topics."

When any thing is written about the family, it is about Count Bjorn and Css Bettina and it has to do with the Mainau. I read on this Forum, that he and Sandra are divorced and Diana is getting a divorce as well. Are Count Christian and Christina still together? They have a son he is almost 11 years old never seen a pic of him, or all three together.
 
And are Countess Catarina and her husband Romuald Ruffing still together?
