From the field
Lernen, mit der Natur zu leben
Seit 1970 ist der Bestand an Wirbeltieren auf der Erde laut Living Planet Report um 69 Prozent zurückgegangen. Gründe dafür sind der Verlust von Lebensräumen, die Umweltverschmutzung und der Klimawandel. Der negative Einfluss des Menschen auf die Natur ist immens, gleichzeitig zerstört er damit seine eigenen Lebensgrundlagen. Wie können wir lernen, ethischer und nachhaltiger mit der Natur zu leben? Mit dieser Frage hat sich das Projekt „Überleben im Anthropozän“ auseinandergesetzt.
