Event summary

Highlights

  • Explore global biodiversity, from coral reefs to Caspian seals
  • Features photographs by scientists and wildlife experts
  • Includes virtual reality experience of underwater environments
  • Highlights research on coral spawning and Caspian seal conservation
This exhibition showcases the interconnectedness of natural systems, from microscopic organisms in coral reefs to marine mammals like the Caspian seal. It features biodiversity stories, including the work of marine biologist Jamie Craggs on coral spawning in London and the Seychelles, which aims to produce genetically diverse corals.

The exhibition also highlights local biodiversity, such as the Caspian seal, an endangered species found only in the Caspian Sea. Photographs by scientist Assel Baimukanova document these seals and their challenges, emphasizing the link between their health and the Caspian Sea's ecosystem.

In addition to works by Baimukanova, the exhibition presents photographs by Mirgaliy Baimukanov, Dmitry Malakhov, Vladislav Yakushkin, and Gennady Dyakin, as well as illustrations by Vladimir Timokhanov and Timofei Bannikov. Visitors can also use virtual reality technology to experience underwater coral reefs. The exhibition aims to make scientific research more accessible to the public and encourage interest in environmental issues.
