» The MiniDarwin are leaving for a new expedition

The third expedition of the MiniDarwin has lifted off today to Brazil. It is devoted to Biodiversity, its importance for the future of the planet and its social and economic spin-offs.

Following the first expedition to the Galapagos Islands, on the occasion of Darwin’s 200th Anniversary, and the adventure on Italian volcanoes in 2008 (International Year of Planet Earth), the main destination of expedition 2010 is the Amazonian rainforest, to celebrate the International Year of Biodiversity.
