Elizabeth Kolbert has suggested that we are living in the midst of the 6th mass extinction, in which we, humans, are the “asteroid” colliding with the Earth. Coral reefs are being bleached at an alarming rate due to ocean warming. Amphibians are disappearing at approximately 25,000 times the background extinction rate. How can science centres and museums mobilise their visitors, the media, industries and governments around the biodiversity crash?

For this workshop we welcome participants from organisation where biodiversity is "core business" as well as professionals from other science engagement organisations interested in this topic. Following an introduction and a case study presentation, the workshop will allow participants to share examples of inspiring projects and shape ideas for new cooperations.
