Matthias Glaubrecht: Das stille Sterben der Natur. Wie wir die Artenvielfalt und uns selbst retten

In the organizer's words:

Unnoticed by many, more and more animals and plants are disappearing - and with them the foundation of our lives. Why are we so oblivious to the extinction of species? And what can we do about it?
Matthias Glaubrecht explains the importance of biodiversity and the devastating consequences of species extinction. He describes the reasons why we do not take the biodiversity crisis seriously enough: our focus on climate change, the failure of traditional nature conservation - and a science policy that does not promote ecological and biosystematic research enough. Glaubrecht invites the audience to reflect and discuss.

Prof. Dr. Matthias Glaubrecht is an evolutionary biologist, biosystematician, historian of science and author of bestselling books. He was Director of the Center for Natural History in Hamburg from 2014 to 2021.
