Gemeinsam die biologische Vielfalt erforschen!
At our booth, you will find out how we are exploring the wildlife of South Africa and Bolivia with citizen scientists and artificial intelligence (and how you can contribute!), and get to know the situation of biodiversity in Germany. We will also present Frankfurt's urban nature and look into what your diet has to do with worldwide biodiversity.
Senckenberg – Leibniz Institution for Biodiversity and Earth System Research
The Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung was founded in 1817 by committed citizens of Frankfurt and is today one of the most important research institutions in the field of biodiversity. It comprises eight research institutes and three natural history museums at twelve locations in Germany; the museum in Frankfurt is one of the largest natural history museums in Europe.
Senckenberg investigates the diversity of life - biodiversity - with its numerous interactions in the Earth system. How does life on Earth interact with the other constituents of our planet, with the atmosphere, water, ice, soil, rock and with us humans? We research the Earth system both in the present and in the future in order to ensure that it is preserved as a basis for our life.
