Several million species inhabitat our planet. Many of them still undiscovered. Many of them might extinct before being discovered. Never in Earth history the extinction of animals and plants occured so alarmingly quick than nowadays. The reason is the most aggressive and expansionistic among all species: Homo sapiens, the modern human. Scientists, experts and politicians from all over the world come together in a congress conducted by the United Nations in Bonn, Germany from 19th May-30th may 2008. Collaterally an exposition under the title "Million ways (species) to live - Research for biodiversity is shown by the Helmholtz-Scientific society.

Four different research fields (social sciences and biodiversity, environmentals sciences, research on climate change and biodiversity and its endagerment in Europe) are presented in a context which gives an impression about the interaction and importance of these research fields.

A special journal in German and English is offered.
