Ein einzigartiges Ökosystem von Pflanzen, Vögeln und Affen
gedeiht in den Baumkronen des Regenwaldes. Nalini Nadkarni erforscht diese Baumkronenwelten – und teilt ihre Erkenntnisse mit der Welt durch Tanz, Kunst und kühne Kollaborationen.

Nalini Nadkarni über den Erhalt der Baumkronenwelten

The forest canopy is a rich, fragile world that harbors thousands of unique species, including over 4,000 types of ants living only above ground. Conservation efforts face the challenge of slow canopy recovery, as mosses and epiphytes can take more than 20 years to return if lost. Innovative partnerships, from rap collaborations with urban youth to moss-growing projects in prisons, reveal new ways science can engage wider communities. Sharing the wonder and importance of treetop ecosystems inspires action beyond academia and helps bridge society’s gap with nature.
