In this two-yearly Capita Selecta series students, staff, and strangers can become acquainted with cutting-edge ecology. This year's theme: Ecology is the science of the 21st century.
Cutting-Edge Ecology
Living breathing building
NIOO works from a sustainable research building based on innovative eco-technology. From experimental green roof to 'golden' toilet, the message is: learn from nature!
Climate Pursuit
A century of climate change, bringing ever higher temperatures. Life can be hard: what would you do to survive as a bird, plant or rodent? Try the new game Climate Pursuit to find out!
Citizen science
At NIOO, we have always valued the contributions of citizen scientists. In fact, our oldest citizen science project goes back more than a century!
Soil transplantation
How can former arable fields be restored to nature? This website and film explain soil transplantations for nature restoration and development.
21st century science
Ecological knowledge is essential for a sustainable society, and so for the future of our planet as we know it. That's why we believe that ecology is THE science of the 21st century.
