Senckenberg Distinguished Lecture Series
While the climate crisis is perceptible for everyone and ubiquitous in public discourse, the biodiversity crisis on our planet is occurring quietly and often goes unnoticed. Drawing from experiments and observations worldwide and in Germany, Christian Wirth explains how the two crises are linked. He argues that biodiversity is not only a victim of climate change but also a remedy for it; conserving and creating biodiverse landscapes is key to effective climate protection.
