The Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB) is dedicated to research into biological diversity and how it changes, the findings from which have illuminating relevance for society as a whole. To better understand current mass extinction of flora and fauna, scientists look for correlations and causes of – often – human-made change.
Visit websiteThe Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB) is dedicated to research into biological diversity and how it changes, the findings from which have illuminating relevance for society as a whole. To better understand current mass extinction of flora and fauna, scientists look for correlations and causes of – often – human-made change. The goal is to find solutions for the conservation of ecosystems and species in order to preserve the basis of life as we currently know it. The LIB comprises the Museum Koenig Bonn and the Museum of Nature Hamburg (former CeNak, UHH), which were merged into the LIB on 1 July 2021. The former CeNak serves as the basis for the construction of a new, innovative research museum of the LIB in Hamburg. The LIB comprises more than 16 million collection objects, primarily from the field of zoology, but also from geology-palaeontology and mineralogy.
