Let’s get eco!

The exhibition, "Here Today,"

is named after the saying

“Here today, gone tomorrow”

that reminds us of the fleeting

nature of everything.

The exhibition is being held to

mark 50 years of the IUCN

Red List, which was started to

keep track of plant, fungi and

animal species at risk of

extinction.
