As part of the celebrations for the International Year of Biodiversity that has just begun, the Biodiversity Foundation is bringing the exhibition “The Writing of Animals” to the Coliseum of Culture in Villaviciosa de Odón (Avenida Príncipe de Asturias, 163).

The exhibition aims to clearly communicate the concepts of biodiversity and ecosystem, as well as the need to conserve each species and each space, using, for this purpose, the language of nature itself: the signs of life.

The curator of the exhibition is the disseminator and naturalist Joaquín Araujo, who this afternoon, at 7 p.m., will give a lecture, in which he will refer to the diversity of the ecosystems of the Iberian Peninsula, and will propose an approach to the interpretation of the footprints and signs that animals leave in their wake.

“The Writing of the Annals” is structured in five large spatial areas: a first, called ‘We are not alone’; three dedicated to the ecosystems of the Iberian Peninsula and a fifth, on endangered species.

The exhibition was inaugurated in 2006 at the headquarters of the Biodiversity Foundation in Seville, and since then it has continued to travel to different locations in Spain. A support book has also been published.
