Biodiversity 2100 uses speculative design to immerse us in two extreme futures of the year 2100
Biodiversity 2100 is a campaign that uses speculative design to explore two extreme futures for our planet’s biodiversity, set in the year 2100. These contrasting scenarios highlight the urgent need for action today, make us think about the consequences of our choices, and encourage critical dialogue about the future of our environment.On the one hand, there is the dystopian »The Last Species Museum«, where the remnants of nature are displayed as a luxury for the privileged. On the other, the utopian The »Carbon Crimes Museum« displays the mistakes of the Carbon Age as a public memorial to what we’ve left behind.
Main contributions included:
Biodiversity 2100 highlights the urgency of bold action against biodiversity loss.
Its contrasting scenarios show how today’s choices shape tomorrow’s world.
The project fosters critical dialogue and public engagement by making future scenarios tangible and thought-provoking

Project Details
Problem space
Biodiversity loss is one of the most pressing and underestimated crises of our time. It’s not just an environmental issue — it’s a direct risk to our economy, food security, and social stability.
Following the principle that “less bad is not good,” incremental improvements and half-measures are not enough to address this crisis. To spark meaningful action, we need new, critical, perspectives that transform the abstract consequences of biodiversity loss into tangible realities. This way, we can open up discussions about how to better protect and preserve our natural resources.
Speculativ Design
The project was developed using design futuring to explore multiple possible futures for biodiversity. From these scenarios, one path was selected and elaborated to highlight current issues and reveal the consequences of today’s choices.
Project goals
Using speculative design, this project aims to explore the future of biodiversity through two extreme yet plausible 2100 scenarios, contrasting a utopian and a dystopian outcome to highlight the consequences of today’s choices and inspire critical reflection and public engagement.

Project result
The Last Species Museum – Experience nature as it once was
In the dystopian scenario, biodiversity has almost disappeared from the earth. Outside of a few isolated institutions such as »The Last Species Museum«, nature exists only as a distant memory. Here, the last surviving species are exhibited and in some cases preserved in glass cases. The museum offers visitors a last look at the natural world, which has now become a luxury good. The exhibits reflect humanity’s failure to deal with the environmental degradation caused by pollution, deforestation and climate change. In this world, nature has become a relic, accessible only to those who can afford to see its remains.
Carbon Crimes Museum – Experience our past mistakes with all your senses
The utopian scenario, on the other hand, offers a hopeful alternative. In this future, humanity has succeeded in reversing environmental damage. By 2100, waste and emissions are a part of the past, and ecosystems have fully recovered. The »Carbon Crimes Museum« displays the mistakes of the Carbon Age: the last plastic bottles, a walk-in cruise ship and even working chainsaws that were once used to cut down virgin forests. Unlike the dystopian museum, this facility is open to everyone. It serves as both a historical archive and a celebration of humanity’s ability to change, to ensure that the mistakes of the past are not repeated.
Biodiversity 2100 – a biodiversity campaign
Both scenarios are part of the »Biodiversity 2100« campaign, which is already taking place in the present. Using social media and a dedicated website, the campaign contrasts the two future scenarios and invites the public to think about the choices we need to make today. The juxtaposition of these possible outcomes serves as a reminder that the future is not predetermined. It is shaped by our actions, our policies and our priorities in the present.

Personal learning
Biodiversity Learning:
Through this project, I developed a profound understanding of biodiversity and its vital function in sustaining life on our planet. I explored the challenges and threats facing ecosystems, as well as the intricate relationships between species, habitats and human activity. This knowledge gave me a solid foundation on which to approach the project thoughtfully, with an awareness of the real-world issues at stake.
Design Futuring:
I also learned a great deal about the methods and mindset of design futuring. This process taught me that open and free thinking can generate new perspectives and that speculative approaches enable the exploration of multiple possible futures. Using backcasting, I discovered how to work backwards from a desired future to uncover alternative pathways and strategies to achieve specific goals. This approach encouraged creativity while ensuring our ideas were grounded in plausible outcomes.
AI Tools:
Working with AI image and video generation tools was another valuable learning experience. I witnessed firsthand how rapidly these tools are developing, and how they can transform abstract concepts into tangible, immersive experiences. Scenarios that once seemed unimaginable could suddenly be visualised, enabling us to communicate complex ideas in a highly accessible and engaging manner. This demonstrated the significant potential of AI in design, storytelling and scenario development.
Teamwork:
Finally, the project emphasised the power of collaboration. Working as part of a small, highly motivated team of three designers, I experienced how ideas can be shared, refined and executed effectively. The combination of diverse perspectives, dedication and creative energy enabled the project to progress quickly and efficiently, reinforcing the value of teamwork in bringing ambitious concepts to life.
