Unnoticed by many, more and more animals and plants are disappearing from our environment, which is increasingly endangering our livelihoods. In his lecture, Glaubrecht describes why we take the biodiversity crisis too little notice and too little seriously. Glaubrecht calls for action: that means consistently protecting sufficiently large nature reserves for functioning biocoenoses, renaturalizing them and promoting biodiversity research.
