Arten schützen – aber wie?

Director: Michael R. Gärtner

The work of renowned ecologists and biodiversity researchers shows ever more clearly that a rethink is needed in the fight against the extinction of animal and plant species. The prevailing public ideal of “nature that is best left to its own devices” is too romanticized for scientists. The protection of endangered species often requires human intervention: the felling of trees, the management of habitats. The film shows exemplary species protection projects from Germany and France.
