During the Talk, Filipa explained what biodiversity is, why it is important and what are the main causes that threaten biodiversity today. Then she spoke a little about her work on the study of mammal diversity in different types of habitat. The children interacted and asked a lot of questions. This talk was part of the Science and Technology Week in Portugal, and it was organized by the Centro de Ciência Viva de Vila do Conde, that had the objective to promote contact between the scientific community and the school community.
