Like the UK, the stag beetle is Sweden’s largest land beetle and is endangered. In some countries, the spectacular insect – which can reach up to 75mm in length – is already extinct. The larvae live in rotting wood for several years before they make a cocoon and transform into adult beetles. The tidying of open spaces and removal of tree stumps and log piles has resulted in lost habitats. By using fauna depots, Kährs is now providing an extensive environment of dead oak trees and decaying oak wood where the insects can lay their larva.
"As well as creating oak hotels, we’re also focusing our environmental efforts on creating the healthiest indoor air quality, on sustainable forest supplies, product development, fair trade and natural water purification. We can always get better and our motivation to improve in all areas never stops," explained Bruce Uhler, Kährs Environmental Ambassador.
