BioDivKultur Impulse Events
BioDivKultur-Impuls: Biodiversity. A value in itself or only valuable for us humans?
Serious changes in environmental biology, such as the current insect die-off, are raising increasingly urgent questions about how diversity can be preserved and how claims for protection can be argued. The question of different umweltehtic justifications will be addressed by Andreas Hetzel in his lecture.

BioDivKultur-Impulse: Why should we protect biodiversity? A plea for the intrinsic value of nature.
It is true that the intrinsic value of nature is now enshrined in many national laws and international agreements. But what it means, how it can be justified and what consequences would have to be drawn from it is rarely clear in politics, nature conservation and society. The lecture wants to give an answer here.
