Last June was World Environment Day. To mark the occasion, the LIFE BEETLES project, coordinated by the Regional Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Action, teamed up with the Pieces of the Sea and the Environment campaign and organised a workshop to build an insect hotel.

This action was intended to sensitise the public to the importance of insects, the environment, and ecosystems. Insect hotels provide shelter for important insect species such as ladybirds and solitary bees.
