IMPACT, biodiversity matters
Where do we come from? What is our place in the evolution process? Do we have the ability to master nature? Is there a hierarchy in living species, and are we a superior species? What impact is Mankind really having on the Earth?
The Earth did not wait for us to start writing its history! Formed 4.6 billion years ago, it has already experienced many upheavals before our appearance. The study of past mass extinctions has made it possible to interpret the current biodiversity crisis and to anticipate its damage. However, a new element distinguishes this crisis from previous ones: the human species is, for the first time, the main culprit.
From a former exhibition at the Natural History Museum in London, the furniture for this exhibition was designed by using 95% recycled wood. The Museum of Toulouse has chosen to improve and optimise production and life-cycle costs in order to integrate them as much as possible into the circular economy.
