Explore the wonders of biodiversity
Biodiversity – the variety of life on Earth – is indispensable for the stability of our ecosystem. How did it evolve over millions of years? How can it be measured? And what are the consequences of its decline? Drop by and find out.
Discover the wonders of biodiversity at our booth! Together, we will explore the fascinating world of biodiversity and its crucial role in our planet’s systems. Biodiversity – the variety of life on Earth – is the focus of our activities, shedding light on its emergence, study, and protection.
We will first discover how biodiversity has evolved over millions of years through an interactive computer simulation. These simulations will help you understand why tropical rainforests are home to more frog species than a place like Switzerland. Then, you will uncover the secrets of biodiversity monitoring with environmental DNA (eDNA). Experience a fun and engaging game where you’ll embark on a quest to detect a rare Swiss species, such as the wolf. Finally, we will discover the critical link between biodiversity and ecosystem services, reinforcing why it is vital for all life, including humans. Through interactive examples, we’ll demonstrate the consequences of biodiversity decline, such as financial impacts, loss of pollination services, and increased pest species.
Join us at our booth to explore the wonders of biodiversity, gain insights into its importance, and learn how each of us can contribute to its protection. Together, let’s learn more about the incredible diversity that holds our world together.
