"Bye Bye Robot" comic
Unfortunately, many pollinator species are facing alarming declines. But what's causing this crisis? This graphic novel explores the complex issues behind the decline of pollinating insects, from habitat loss to climate change. You'll embark on a journey to discover the amazing world of pollinating insects and the vital role they play in our ecosystems. Meet Hanami, a cutting-edge robot designed to monitor biodiversity, and Arianna, a dedicated farmer who's passionate about protecting the environment.
Based on a theatre play, this graphic novel is one of the outcomes of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre project, Science and Technology for Pollinating Insects. By piloting citizen engagement processes across Europe, they aim to inspire a new wave of awareness and action on behalf of our pollinators.
