Biodiversitätspreis für Uni-Graz-Studierende und Graz als Europameisterin bei City Nature Challenge

Artenschutz im Alltag wollen Biologie-Studierende der Uni Graz möglichst vielen Menschen erleichtern. Praktische Tipps von der Plastik-Vermeidung bis hin zum Nistkastenbau verbreiten sie über ihre Zeitschrift „The Flying Dodo“. Dafür erreichten sie beim Biodiversitätspreis „Silberdistel“ in der Kategorie Bildungseinrichtungen den dritten Platz.

Ganz oben am Stockerl landete Graz bereits zum zweiten Mal in Folge bei der heurigen City Nature Challenge, bei der die BewohnerInnen aufgerufen waren, Tiere und Pflanzen in der Stadt zu dokumentieren. 17.000 Beobachtungen wurden eingereicht, die WissenschafterInnen der Universität Graz ordneten sie 2518 Arten zu. „Erstmals nachgewiesen wurde beispielsweise der südliche Rindenkugelpilz“, berichtet Biologe Gernot Kunz, Mit-Organisator der europaweiten Veranstaltung.

Overcoming boundaries: Can we manage without prisons and camps?

The US immigration agency ICE has sparked fear and horror. Not only are migrants criminalised and brutally persecuted, but earlier this year, ICE officers killed two US citizens in Minneapolis. Against the backdrop of these dramatic events, the University of Graz is shedding light on the role of deportation and detention centres as part of the international conference ‘Camps, Belonging, and Abolition Democracy’. Researchers aim to develop scenarios for how a future without prisons and the death penalty can become a reality.
