Prof. Dr. Ir. Peter van Bodegom, a professor of environmental biology from Leiden University, gave a guest lecture entitled “Biodiversity from Space.” The lecture was opened by the Vice Dean for Research, Community Service and Cooperation, Faculty of Biology, Dr. Eko Agus Suyono, M.App. In his presentation, Prof. Peter explained that biodiversity does not occur randomly; biodiversity is neatly arranged in order. The highest biodiversity could be found at the equator and decreasing gradually towards the poles.
The lecture was held on Thursday, March 12, 2020, in Class 1, Building B of the Faculty of Biology, and was attended by students from undergraduates until the doctoral program whose research interests are in the field of ecology. This lecture is part of the follow-up program to the MoU between UGM and Leiden University.
