MDPI Webinar | International Day for Biological Diversity Webinar, 22 May 2024
In order to commemorate the International Day for Biological Diversity, MDPI is launching a special webinar to encourage researchers to come together, take action, and highlight how the exchange of findings facilitates efforts to raise awareness in all walks of life.
Climate change, man-made changes to nature, and crimes that disrupt biodiversity, such as deforestation, land-use change, intensified agriculture, and livestock production or the growing illegal wildlife trade, can accelerate the speed of the planet’s destruction. This webinar aims to encourage connection and collaboration among researchers and the international open access community to help fight against negative human-induced effects on the Earth.
We are very much looking forward to seeing you at the MDPI International Day for Biological Diversity Webinar. Please find below an up-to-date outline of the presenters.
