Science stories to watch and listen

What is an ecosystem and how does it work? What is biodiversity and what is its role? How do natural environments differ from each other, what are their main characteristics? What are the properties of semi-arid, coastal, mountain and Arctic ecosystems? And what organisms inhabit them, how are the matter and energy flows and the interactions between living organisms and the physical environment in which they thrive? And, most importantly, what are the threats to natural ecosystems and what are the best strategies to conserve and protect them? So many questions that find articulate and comprehensive answers in the interviews, storymaps and explanations of the Virtual Museum of Ecosystems.
