Small Beings – Big Responsibility
Welcome to our project for promoting biodiversity
Our project “Small Beings – Big Responsibility” wants to inspire people’s interest in the protection of life. With fascinating images, scientific background and informative texts—as well as captivating stories—the importance of biodiversity will be brought closer to the hearts of readers. Macro images convey the hidden beauty of the tiny world of arthropods in an emotionally touching way. We provide information that is scientifically accurate and yet deliver the opposite of a dusty encyclopedia.
