Transcript<\/h3>\r\n
(German parts translated)<\/h5>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Host: ..and now I am going to tell you about something cool \u2013 the International Barcode of Life or iBOL, a project to create an exact inventory of all life on earth. Nikolaus Szucsich is in charge of the Austrian part of the project and he is leading a team finding a sample of every species in Austria whether that be a mushroom, an insect or a big furry mammal and then extracting some DNA.<\/p>\r\n

Nikolaus: ..the specimen as such will be kept, we will take only a small part, e.g. a small bit of tissue for vertebrates or a leg of an insect is sufficient to extract DNA from it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Host: It is obviously a huge project just for this one small country. Worldwide the scale is mindboggling.<\/p>\r\n

Nikolaus: We just met in Canada and agreed on a number of common goals for the project. One target is to generate DNA barcodes for 2.5 Million species allowing us to identify all those species using their DNA. The deadline for this is the year 2025.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Host: So, what\u2019s the point?<\/p>\r\n

Nikolaus: There are a number of interesting applications such as conservation in general but also identification of some food ingredients which can be verified by DNA. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Host: We keep hearing about a mass extinction going on due to human activity. So, is it a race against time to log all these species before many disappear?<\/p>\r\n

Nikolaus: Unfortunately, this is a real threat especially in the tropics. However, it is also very relevant in our part of the world, e.g. cold-adapted mountain species are currently moving into higher elevations because it continuously gets warmer. As one can imagine there will be an end to that movement once the summit has been reached.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ specialty=”on” padding_top_1=”40px” padding_top_2=”14px” _builder_version=”3.19.4″ background_color=”#3c3d41″ custom_margin=”0px||” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”0|0px|0|0px|false|false” global_module=”3909″ saved_tabs=”all”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ padding_top__hover=”40px” parallax__hover=”off” parallax_method__hover=”on” padding_top=”40px” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ibol.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/iBOL-logo-vertical-small-copy.png” url=”https:\/\/ibol.org\/” align=”center” always_center_on_mobile=”off” admin_label=”iBOL logo” _builder_version=”3.19.7″ max_width_tablet=”100%” max_width_phone=”30%” max_width_last_edited=”on|tablet” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|||” custom_margin_tablet=”|||0px” custom_margin_phone=”||-67px|-2px” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”||50px|” custom_padding_tablet=”||0px|0px” custom_padding_phone=”|0px||” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ specialty_columns=”2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ padding_top__hover=”14px” parallax__hover=”off” parallax_method__hover=”on” padding_top=”14px” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_row_inner custom_padding=”|0px||0px” _builder_version=”3.19.4″ max_width_tablet=”100%” max_width_phone=”100%” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin_tablet=”-64px|0px||0px” custom_margin_phone=”0px|||0px” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet”][et_pb_column_inner type=”4_4″ saved_specialty_column_type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax__hover=”off” parallax_method__hover=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Footer Links” _builder_version=”3.19.7″ text_font=”Montserrat|500||on|||||” text_text_color=”#aaaaaa” text_font_size=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”10px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” text_line_height=”2.2em” header_font=”Montserrat||||||||” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark”]
