Sorry, currently no activity. Please come back and check later.

Please come and join a new initiative called the
‘Conservation Film Screening’, which will continue throughout winter at the Metapopulation Research Group, University of Helsinki.

The idea is to show – at least once a month – a film/documentary that portrays key topics in conservation (climate change, deforestation, etc.). There will be a discussion once the screening is over.

As the screening is quite informal please think of bringing along some nibbles and drinks.
