The Institute for Relocation of Biodiversity (IRB) is an artistic research agency that speculates on possible multispecies futures. IRB conducts trans-disciplinary "field work" that reflects on interspecies relations, questions the intentionality of evolution and speculates on the (im)possibility of intra-and inter-species communication. Rather than showing solutions, it addresses the complexity of the systems that are at stake. It departs from both the climate crisis and the loss of biodiversity and habitat.

Inspired by the scientific discourse on facilitated adaptation or managed relocation, the IRB investigates endangered species and provides them with relocation tutorials, e.g. video tutorials.

The artistic process includes the selection of an endangered species (fauna, flora, microbial). Then, research of its habitat, living conditions and the mesh of relations is conducted. A relocation tutorial is produced and presented as experimental performance to the audience - being the selected animal or plant - with humans being invited to observe this scenery.

The aim is to encourage relocation to a more life sustaining habitat as a poetic contribution to possible new narratives for the future of planet Earth. In the article we describe/contempate/ one performance conducted for Pinna nobilis, the great pen shell, endemic to the Mediterranean Sea and the possible effects this intervention might have on the animal.

生物多样性迁移研究所（IRB）是一家艺术研究机构，负责推测可能的多物种期货。IRB进行跨学科的“野外工作”，以反映种间关系，质疑进化的意图并推测种间和种间交流的可能性。它没有显示解决方案，而是解决了所面临的系统的复杂性。它既避免了气候危机，也避免了生物多样性和生境的丧失。

IRB受有关促进适应或有管理的搬迁的科学论述的启发，IRB调查了濒临灭绝的物种，并为他们提供了搬迁教程，例如视频教程。

艺术过程包括选择濒危物种（动物，植物，微生物）。然后，对其栖息地，生活条件和关系网进行了研究。制作了一个搬迁教程，并作为实验表演向观众展示（被选为动物或植物），并邀请人类观察该风景。

目的是鼓励人们搬迁到更多维持生命的栖息地，为对地球未来的可能新叙事做出诗意的贡献。在本文中，我们描述/设想/针对地中海特有的大笔壳Pinna nobilis进行的一项表演，以及该干预措施可能对动物造成的影响。
