Dirk Steffens visits Bayreuth

Dirk Steffens, the well-known animal filmmaker and television presenter, was awarded an honorary doctorate (Dr. h.c.) by Bayreuth University. To mark the occasion, he gave a very interesting, albeit depressing, lecture at Bayreuth University on 21. October 2021 about biodiversity in general and specifically about the catastrophic loss of species caused by humans. 150 species/day are disappearing forever. The board members of our association (from left to right) Pedro Gerstberger, Wolfgang Hennig and Gerrit Begemann had set up an information stand about the association in the foyer.
