What Artenglück does
Artenglück [aːɐ̯tn̩ɡlʏk] in German means “happiness of the species”. Founded in September 2020 in Germany, we aim to act globally as well as locally.
Our mission is to promote biodiversity and climate neutrality.
At Artenglück, we plant flowering meadows on private land, reforest at declining woods, rebuild the local insect population, restore moors, and protect endangered birds – to enhance biodiversity and capture carbon!

Nature conservation and CSR actions
Natural areas in the United States are disappearing at an alarming rate of one football field every third minute. As a result, natural areas serving as a carbon sink are declining. There are numerous steps that can be taken to address this. A single step can lift up a whole ecosystem because nature is a complex system interconnected with each other.
So, why meadows?
- Grasslands and meadows can store up to 3 tonnes per hectare which is 1.6 times more than trees.
- Native meadows not only add colour and beauty but also play an incredible role in supporting our food production by hosting pollinators such as wild bees. Estimates by Michigan University show that in less than a decade there has been a decline of 23% of wild bees across the US. To put it simply, no pollinators – no food.
- Improved groundwater levels. Flower meadows increase water filtration as they have deeper roots.
- Meadows grow best on less fertile land. Not only do meadows put them to practical use, but they also enrich them over time.
- Supporting wildlife and birds

What clients say about us
„The cooperation with the Artenglück team is characterized by a high level of professionalism. On the common path to more sustainability, the team responds to us very individually and always gives us new impulses. The communication is excellent and it is fun to drive the project forward together. We look forward to our continued collaboration!“
„Since the foundation of our Bakery, Café and Concept Store MalinaStories we engage for flowers, birds and nature. After all, nature has a positive effect on the well-being of people. And we love to rediscover old things, to use them again and again or to reinvent them. That’s where the Artenglück seedball machine fit right in. From our store, we can see how customers and people passing by discover the vending machine they remember from their childhood, and it puts a smile on their faces. Or the wide-eyed children stretching to toss a coin in and anxiously waiting to see what comes out. New customers are curious and the Artenglück SeedBalls help us to have a greener and more lively city and inform playful about conservation.
„There are many sides to love of home, and I’m happy to now be able to contribute something to biodiversity in my region. Thank you for making it so easy to contribute to a lasting commitment for conservation.“
