• The project team of DSP (15 students grade 11 and
  above) headed by Biology Professor Rainer Busch
  kindly requested BHC BJ to support their Jungle
  Project in context with the overall Climate
  Project of the school.
• The Project started back in early 2007 and was
  triggered by the German Government asking German
  schools abroad to actively engage in climate
  change.
• The team worked out basic facts about reasons for
  world wide climate change, developed a
  comprehensive questionnaire regarding aspects of
  climate change (how much do Chinese and German
  people know about climate change?), established a
  school biotop incl. a solar powered green house
  and worked out a plan regarding energy and
  materials / resource savings at DSP Beijing.
