At the research station, visitors can experience how small observations can lead to ground-breaking discoveries. The golden poison dart frog, for example, carries its tadpoles on its back through the rainforest - an amazing breeding behaviour for amphibians. But what happens when the male is missing? Does the female then take over? Such questions can be specifically investigated at the research station: Temperature, humidity and daylight cycles can be precisely controlled. Behaviour is observed, documented and compared with previous findings. This generates valuable knowledge for species conservation. The research station was deliberately designed not as a closed scientific space, but as an open place of experience. Visitors can look over the researchers' shoulders and experience for themselves how science works. Interactive elements, vivid displays and a well thought-out guidance system make the research processes understandable and accessible. Behind the scenes, state-of-the-art technology ensures optimal research conditions. These controlled conditions are essential for the success of species conservation programmes. The aim is not only to create knowledge, but also to develop concrete measures for the conservation of endangered species. Because we can only preserve what we understand.
