Under Control

Directed by

A botanical garden is a man-made environment with a microclimate in each hall. Despite human efforts to control the environment, insects have invaded the botanical garden and are eating the plants. The gardeners have released cryptobugs – ladybugs trained to prey on the invaders. But since the ladybugs alone can’t control the pests, the gardeners attempt disinfestation. Fumigation kills everything but the resistant bugs. The more they try to rid the garden of the bugs, the worse the invasion becomes.

Biodiversity

Endangered by human actions, the diversity of species is crucial to the harmony of the interconnected ecosystems we inhabit: the implications of its loss and why this issue affects more than just those that go extinct.
