On June 5, at 3pm, Osuwela and the Port of Maputo will open the exhibition "Bichos de Cá, Bichos de Lá", a photography show celebrating biodiversity. On World Environment Day, three countries - Mozambique, Portugal and Brazil - come together to showcase their most characteristic fauna, which is so important to preserve.

These "animals", grouped by their representativeness and the place they occupy in nature, show the different species in their various contexts and call for their protection and the defense of their habitats.

The opening of this exhibition will also feature a round table discussion on biodiversity and conservation. Anabela Rodrigues, Samuel Bila and Mateus Muthemba, specialists in fauna and conservation, are the guests for this conversation, moderated by Zeferino Martins, president of Osuwela.

The exhibition "Bichos de Cá, Bichos de Lá" is a joint effort by Osuwela, the University of Aveiro in Portugal and the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation in Brazil, and in Mozambique it has the support of the Port of Maputo. It will be inaugurated simultaneously in the various countries, marking this day dedicated to the environment around the world. It will be on show at the Port of Maputo Gallery until July 5th

EXHIBITION OVERVIEW

In every corner of planet Earth, nature is full of stories of drama and overcoming. When we analyze the various ecosystems that cover the land and water surfaces, we can see differences, but also many similarities in the way they function and how they tell us their story. On the stage that is this planet there are millions of actors, many of whom we don't know. But we can identify some roles which, because they are common to all ecosystems, help us to decipher the secrets hidden in the Biodiversity scenario.

The exhibition "Bichos de cá, bichos de lá" consists of a presentation of 7 modules with 41 panels, covering concepts, behaviors and conservation aspects with examples of fauna species from Portugal, Brazil and Mozambique. In this way, visitors will be able to see how nature unites these three countries and speaks a single language in the way different species perform similar functions, wherever we are.
