Biodiversity: case closed ?

Thursday 31 October, 19:30

Let's take stock of the many conservation initiatives being carried out to save biodiversity. Is it enough? Several specialists open the debate!

Biodiversity is in decline throughout the world. A number of initiatives are attempting to reverse this trend, particularly in Geneva. Biotopes have been renatured, populations of threatened species have been boosted, and the various players involved have been made aware of what is at stake for humans. How can we do more?
Come and take part in finding answers and making proposals to this question in the company of our guest, Bertrand von Arx, nature and landscape conservator at the Office Cantonal de l'Agriculture et de la Nature du canton de Genève (OCAN), and during the round table discussion that will follow.
Round table speakers:

  • Delia Fontaine, Scientific assistant, Direction de la durabilité et du climat (DDC), Département du territoire (DT)
  • Elodie Hefti, activist, écologist, feminist et socialist
  • Hervé Fauvain, project: Agglomération du Grand Genève, DT
  • Raphaël Dunand, domaine des Lolliets, Soral, winegrower – winemaker, president of Réseau agro-environnemental (RAE) de la Champagne genevoise.
