A travelling biodiversity exhibition to help raise people's understanding of nature will be opened today by Minister for the Environment John Gormley.
The exhibition has been prepared by various national environmental groups and will see scientists and volunteers will travel to some of the country's big events, like Electric Picnic and the National Ploughing Championships.
They are also hoping to address smaller venues where aspects of biodiversity will be explained and discussed.
The unveiling of the exhibition will take place at the Department of the Environment in the Customs House this morning.
