INSECT RESPECT®
What are we doing to protect insects? The Museum of Natural History Berlin and INSECT RESPECT® have joined forces for this question. All visitors to the Research Museum were invited to immerse themselves in the world of insects on #TagderInsekten, and participants of the conference also received many impulses on the topics of insect repellent and insect deaths. For example, the director general of the museum, Prof. Johannes Vogel, confessed that the image from 5 to 12 for the protection of biodiversity was already a fine talk of the situation. Researchers and young entrepreneurs presented their results and projects and motivated the participants to network and stand up for the insects. Supporters of the event included the REWE Group, the hk group, AIM, Europarc Deutschland and HektarNektar.
The multimedia conference documentation summarizes the conference in pictures, quotations and short articles. In addition, the lecture videos and presentation slides are linked there.
