Presentation at Nature Conservation Digital 2

When robots destroy weeds with lasers, sensors measure the reaction of trees to climate change, or when fish shoals are digitally recorded – can this serve commercial purposes or will nature conservation benefit? This question was at heart of the 2nd Dialogue Event of the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) on opportunities and risks of digitalisation in the intersection of nature conservation and commercial use . In his intervention Prof. Dr. Jan-Peter Mund highlighted the three megatrends at the crossroads of nature conservation: Digitisation, globilisation and climate change.
