In the month of the closing of the exhibition Ameaçados – Planeta em Transformação, The Museum of Tomorrow opens its Observatory to the public on April 3rd, at 4 pm, for the seminar What is threatened?, a discussion on how humanity has put the planet's ecosystems and cultures at risk.

Featuring Mário Mantovani of the environmental organization SOS Mata Atlântica and Érico Hiller, author of the photographs featured in the "Threatened" exhibition, the event will be an opportunity to discuss, primarily, the pressure on the Atlantic Forest, one of the world's richest ecosystems, which is threatened by disorganized urban growth. To give you an idea, only 12.4% of its original vegetation remains, and deforestation rates continue to rise, even with current restrictions. The Seminar is organized in partnership with Museu Vivo, an initiative that integrates museums and sustainability with public engagement.

We will also reflect together on the process of raising awareness and engaging people about threatened places and lives. What are the possible paths to greater awareness and mobilization of society for the regeneration of the planet?

The Atlantic Forest biome is the theme presented in some of the 30 images in the exhibition “Threatened – Planet in Transformation,” which offers the public until April 22, in the Lounge, a reflection on the environmental impacts caused by our species: whether to supply the more than 7.5 billion inhabitants of the Earth, or just for whim (such as the illegal hunting of rhinos for their horns).
