Dear friends of the LIB,

As early as 1962, the zoologist Rachel Carson drew attention to the causes of insect deaths caused by pesticides with her book ‘Silent Spring’ and launched a worldwide environmental movement. Since then, far too little has happened. That has to change. We need awareness of the problem, the courage to act and co-operation between science, business, politics and society. This is also demonstrated by the COP16 World Conference on Nature in Colombia.

At the LIB, we are on the lookout for solutions to preserve biodiversity with our research into the changing face of biodiversity. To this end, we engage in dialogue and design our museums as meeting places for people and nature.

Thank you for continuing to work with us to preserve nature in 2024. Together we can achieve a lot! We wish you happy holidays and all the best for 2025.

 

We wish you happy holidays
and all the best for the year 2025!

 

Prof Dr Bernhard Misof, Director General LIB,
Adrian Grüter, Commercial Director,
and the entire LIB team
