Let’s talk Greenovation: Why biodiversity is more than nature romanticism

Why does the decline in biodiversity concern us so directly? This question was addressed at the Let’s talk Greenovation event at the Trafo-Haus at brigk, the startup center in Ingolstadt. The focus was on the realization that biodiversity is much more than an abstract environmental concept – it forms the basis of functioning ecosystems and therefore our own living conditions.

Moderated by Dr. Matthias Roßmann, the evening brought together perspectives from science and practice and opened a dialogue on causes, impacts, and possible solutions in dealing with the loss of biodiversity.

Over the course of the evening, a shared central understanding emerged: humans are both part of the problem and part of the solution. In the subsequent discussion, approaches for individual action were presented and the need to further develop existing structures and habitats in a more sustainable way was emphasized.

The event showed how valuable the exchange between different perspectives is. At the same time, it became clear that biodiversity is not a distant issue, but a fundamental prerequisite for stable habitats – and therefore for our own future.
