The mass extinction of species poses a threat to humanity as serious as climate change – yet it remains a frequently overlooked crisis. Journalists often find it challenging to cover topics related to biodiversity.
In this deep dive workshop at Museum Koenig Bonn, one of Germany's leading natural history museums, journalists and researchers will work together to explore how to report on the biodiversity crisis and species conservation in a more in-depth and constructive way. Biodiversity researchers will provide insight into key developments in the species crisis and the consequent impacts.
Journalists will present best practice examples and discuss their experiences reporting on biodiversity: What has worked well? What challenges have they faced? And when, if at all, does it make sense to consider the biodiversity and climate crises separately, or should we aim to present these environmental crises in a more connected way?
