Insects are often perceived as strange and almost incomprehensible "other". However, humans and insects have a lot in common. Insects, too, have their own languages, communicative systems of meaning, and many of them form, like human beings, organized societies in which individuals serve common goals.
The researcher Tero Piirainen is giving a lecture which is part of the series organized by Luonto-Liiton Hämeen piiri.
Life on Earth manifests itself in countless different forms. In their habitats, plants, animals, fungi and microbes form complex networks and ecosystems that are vital to human survival and well-being. As part of nature, we are completely dependent on the diversity and well-being of ecosystems.
The free lecture series introduces different ecosystems and their importance to nature as a whole through different groups of organisms and it also helps us to understand why our current consumer lifestyle is extremely destructive to biodiversity, and what should be done to prevent our activities endangering our own livelihoods.
It’s happening in Finnish on Nov 28th, 18:00-20:00,Kulttuuritalo Laikku, Keskustori 4, 33100 Tampere. FB event here.
