The current biodiversity crisis is closely linked to the ongoing climate warming, which has a significant impact on ecosystems—both right on our doorstep and in distant regions of the world. “Biodiversity in Climate Change”—this is the focus of the new lecture series of the Alexander-Koenig-Gesellschaft (AKG) e.V.
From October 2024 to June 2025, we will offer interesting and exciting lectures once a month at 6:00 p.m. in the auditorium of the Koenig Museum Bonn. The lectures will explore marine, terrestrial, botanical, and zoological aspects, focusing on their changes and threats. These topics will cover both our local nature—right on our doorstep—and distant countries and continents.
In the first lecture of the series on October 9 at 6:00 p.m., Hannah Emde from Bonn (Nepada Wildlife e.V.) will share her experiences in “Conservation Adventures – As a Veterinarian in the Jungle.”(„Abenteuer Artenschutz – als Tierärztin im Dschungel”). The wildlife veterinarian, passionate conservationist, and host of the ZDF series “Terra X: Fascination Earth” invites you on a journey to the most remote places on Earth, sharing her experiences from the field. What does the orangutan in Borneo have to do with our lives in Germany? Why isn’t the sloth a fan of pineapples? Hannah Emde vividly explains how the health of the environment, animals, and humans are interconnected and why protecting our ecosystems should be our top priority.
In November and December, we will dive into the world of marine life on Indonesia’s coral reefs and take interested participants on a journey to the montane rainforests of Rwanda.
These and all upcoming dates can be found online in the event calendar of the Koenig Museum Bonn.
The entry is, as always, free!
