Description of the
Recognising, naming and understanding nature!
The protection and preservation of "biological diversity" can only succeed if we know the different species of animals, plants and fungi and the conditions they need to survive. This is why Museum Koenig trains children and young people to become species experts.
The Leibniz Taxonomy Workshop was recognised as a "UN Decade of Biodiversity 2020" project and is an exhibitor at the "Environment Week 2020" in Berlin.
For interested parties
For interested children and young people:
Excursions - identification exercises - preparation work
We have invited experts who will explain exactly what you need to look out for when identifying animals, plants and fungi.
Saturday excursions for young people aged between 10 and 14.
For interested experts:
Are you an expert on Coleoptera, Lepidoptera or Anura? Do you enjoy sharing your knowledge with children and young people? Then we need your support - get in touch with us!
Working groups:
Once a week, the school and kindergarten working groups meet at Museum Koenig to familiarise themselves with different animal, plant and fungal species and methods of taxonomic work.
Explanatory films
In our short films, Alexander Koenig, founder of the museum, explains exactly how science categorises and names newly discovered creatures. Because we can only protect what we know.
