About this Event

Climate change, pollution, and intensive agriculture are driving many species to rapid extinction. These species, whether plant, animal, microbe, or something else, are not only vital to life on this planet but also have a major role in climate adaptation.

Interested in how you can make a difference for the climate and biodiversity, including how to boost biodiversity in your garden or green space? Join us at Earthlings the Healing Café in the West End of Newcastle to find out more. The event is free but please book your place in advance as spaces are limited.

What is biodiversity?

Biodiversity refers to the vast varieties of life on our planet. Due to the climate crisis it is at risk of global collapse as climate change is 'one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss'. The services that biodiversity provides are numerous and without them humans, and many other species would likely not survive.
