Apart from extensive lectures and NGO-activities and foundings, he served as a fellow at the Natural History Museum, London, in the fields of his specialisation, sustainability, spirituality and diversity of life. His international reputation and acclaim are largely based on a work that followed in the footsteps of the 1955 Russell-Einstein Manifesto – the Potsdam Denkschrift 2005 ‘We have to learn to think in a new way’.
