Description of Impact(s) (English Only) Ahead of the 9th Trondheim Conference on Biodiversity, an alliance of 4 large German organizations (conservationists, research institutes and museums) issued an open call via letter in the press to the German Chancellor to make the fight against species extinction a top priority - making it clear that climate change and biodiversity must be address together.

The organizations were: Frankfurt Zoological Society; Museum of Natural History Berlin; Senckenberg Nature Research Society and the Wyss Campaign for Nature, Germany.
