Biodiversity Under Scrutiny: At the Intersection of Science, Ethics, and Commitment

What if monitoring biodiversity were about much more than just counting species? Between high-tech sensors, mountains of data, and political decisions, the science of biodiversity raises questions: Who decides what we observe? What is the real purpose of all these
figures? And what if scientific neutrality were nothing more than an illusion?

A lecture by Vincent Devictor, an ecologist and researcher atISEM, who invites us to take a behind-the-scenes look at biodiversity monitoring. From sensors that are transforming our understanding of life to imperfect indicators, and the role of scientists as whistleblowers, this lecture examines the technical, ethical, and political challenges facing a field of science on the front lines of the collapse of the living world.
