International Biodiversity Day on 22 May 2013 is being celebrated at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden through a showcase of the Science behind biodiversity conservation.
As part of the Kirstenbosch Centenary programme, interactive displays, films and talks will illustrate 100 years of scientific work. Offering the visitor an insider view into this fascinating world and showing how this science impacts on all our lives, this is an event that can change perspective. Ranging from the herbarium and vegetation mapping, through climate change and threatened species, to modern citizen science and the molecular laboratory, this is a day that will unpack the scientific mysteries of biodiversity and give a greater understanding of the world we live in.
