"It must not cost lives to give life" - that is the title of the Maternity Foundation book, for which Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has written a preface. The book was published in the autumn on the occasion of its 15th anniversary, but the Crown Princess in the circumstances could only receive at a meeting today.
At the meeting told Henriette Svarre Nielsen and Anna Frellsen about the organization's work to reduce maternal mortality and infant mortality in developing countries - including with the Safe Delivery Program. But the numbers are still far too high and are unfortunately expected to rise a lot due to the corona situation. So there is a long way to go before we reach the goal in the book's title.

Mary is looking wonderful. Lots of meetings popping up, although they dont put all on the official calendar.
Love seeing them pose in front of different areas of their home. We can see the world map room in the back

The projects is partly an online sharing of experiences in the nature by ordinary Danes - while getting outside and move your legs.
And partly a reporting by ordinary Danes about changes the bio-diversity in DK.
Many people have a remarkable knowledge about local flora and fauna. Insects, birds and so on. There have been many examples of locals reporting examples of plants, insects and birds that have so far been alien to Denmark, but as the climate changes, they are moving north - while other animals and plants are moving out.
One example, albeit around the British Isles, is that the Great White Shark is getting closer.
Cods, that used to be found in Danish waters are moving out, the water is getting too warm, while other fish are moving in.
It's quite interesting.
I have now twice seen eagles a little north of where we live. The beaches there are rarely crowded, so they can roam pretty undisturbed.
The Kingfisher has also moved in in our local area, but I haven't seen one yet.

A dramatic sky!
Today we are in fact having the first day without rain during the entire month of May!
This May has been the second most rainy for 100 years.
Nevertheless, I'm sure they thoroughly enjoy their stay at Kancellihuset at Fredensborg.

Crown Princess Mary shared another of her photos this morning:

In the spring, we decided that part of our garden in Fredensborg would become a wild garden with only Danish species. (..)

That is in line with what is both a growing trend as well as something owners of gardens are encouraged to do: Leaving a patch of the garden to itself. Letting things grow and die there in accordance with the natural rythm of the seasons.
No moving grass, no weeding, no cropping, leave dead leaves alone and if you have a stump of wood or a thick branch leave it to rot.
That attracts more insects and a wider range of them, which again attracts more birds.
Even though DK has a surprising amount of nature (in the eyes of many foreigners) only a tiny amount is completely undisturbed. The rest is more or less groomed. Trees are felled and cleared away and so on. Even the large stretches of woodland in in particular Jutland, that are home to hundreds of thousands of red deer are plantations temporarily inhabited by wildlife.
The result is the the rural bio-diversity has gone down dramatically, not least insects that are vital in pollinating crops have gone down to near critical levels.
While they can find food, they have problems finding places to live - safe places that is. The result is that the number and diversity of birds go down.
So farmers have been urged to leave patches of undisturbed land on their fields.
In the meantime all wildlife that can adapt, have migrated towards the villages, suburbia, and even inner cities. So today the place with most and most thriving bio-diversity are the gardens in suburbia and the groves and other patches of land surrounding villages and suburban neighborhoods - that are full of humans enjoying nature while going for walks or jogging.
So life is great of you are a small to medium sized bird that is not too specialized and if you are a rodent, badger, or a fox.
But... things like bees are not particularly popular in suburbia or the cities, for obvious reasons. So they have problems finding a place to build hives - and being left alone. And they too a essential for pollinating flowers in the gardens. There is a limit to how far bees will and can fly.
Hence this very inclusive project where ordinary Danes are urged to keep an eye the local or just the garden, see and observe what is going on in regards to flora and fauna, upload the stories and photos and talk about it as well as asking questions to experts. People get more committed if they belong to an active, albeit online, community - and the botanists, ornitologists and biologist get info for free.
Basically with very little effort you can follow the local "wildlife" from your window while feeling that you contribute just a little bit to adding to the biodiversity of Denmark.
It has been embraced enthusiastically nationwide! - It was already a popular pursuit, now more organized.
I have for years had a lot of pleasure in watching the birds feed from the bird-stands in our garden (I can strongly recommend cheese! Pizza-toppings is extremely popular with practically every bird and right away.) It's entertaining live feel good TV. With the performers looking better, being better dressed, sounding better and sounding more clever as well than those on the electronic TV. And what they do makes a lot more sense than what they do on TV...
And sometimes a peregrine swoosh by.
For a keen photographer as Mary the allure of getting of getting just the right shot or a bird or a hare must be tempting.

CP Mary today:
"I would like to thank all the Danes who have shared nature pictures and stories from Denmark in our digital project 'Together for nature'.
The several thousand pictures have made it even clearer to everyone how much diversity and variety there is in the Danish nature. Both of species, habitats and of the common and the rare. The many pictures and the high quality of the pictures are proof that nature is of great importance to us all."

 Good topic to put awareness on, because the textile-industy is very polluting, certainly on a local scale, and as such also on a global scale.
