About this item
| Description: |
The future of our life on Earth is dependent on the natural world. We are learning more and more about the intricacies of our dependence on nature. Yet our natural world is threatened as never before, with biodiversity loss accelerating at unprecedented rates of species extinctions. No one institution, however effective, can hope to address all these threats alone. In this talk I will highlight the importance of biodiversity to humanity, illustrate some of the work going in in Cambridge to tackle the ‘biodiversity crisis’, highlights some reasons for hope, and suggest ideas for discussion on what role the College can play in contributing to the conservation of the natural world.
