Public Lecture
Biodiversität im Umbruch - Status, Trends, Folgen, Handlungsbedarf
Helge Bruehlheide
Der Abendvortrag der Botanik-Tagung nimmt Sie mit auf eine faszinierende Reise durch die Welt der Biodiversität.
In den letzten Jahren haben wir eine alarmierende Abnahme der Biodiversität beobachtet. Dieser Rückgang betrifft nicht nur einzelne Arten, sondern ganze Ökosysteme, die essenziell für unser Wohlergehen und unsere Lebensgrundlagen sind.
Der Vortrag geht auf die neuesten Erkenntnisse über den aktuellen Stand der Biodiversität ein und zeigt auf, wie sich diese Vielfalt im Laufe der Zeit verändert hat, welche Rolle dabei Landnutzungsänderungen und Klimawandel spielen und welche Folgen der Verlust an Biodiversität für die Umwelt und die Gesellschaft hat.
Es wird deutlich werden, dass ein Umdenken und Handeln auf verschiedenen Ebenen erforderlich sind, um den rapiden Rückgang der Biodiversität zu stoppen.
