In search of the hidden biodiversity in Berlin cemeteries with Katharina and Parm von Oheimb: This evening, the research couple will report on the fascinating world of snails.



The two will follow the trail of the slimy mollusks that find a peculiar habitat between ivy-covered gravestones and mausoleums. They will combine this trail with insights into their research into the impressive biodiversity of tropical land snails. They will report on their threatened diversity and why these animals are severely affected by the current extinction of species.
