Project aims

 

Analyse key aspects of life and ecological relationships while situating them in an environmental context.

Link key ecology themes to everyday experience and events.

Compare local ecosystems with ecosystems in other parts of the world.

Enhance citizens’ knowledge of themes that have been developed by Natural History Museums but are often little known to the general public (e.g., evolution, the life cycle of certain animals, Planet Earth, the world’s cities, etc.).

Bring users into meaningful contact with distant natural environments, thereby helping them perceive themselves as “citizens of the world” and raising their awareness of our reliance on faraway environments for key ecosystemic resources.
