About this Event
Please do consider a donation this Christmas for conservation - all kindnesses, small or large, go a long way in helping us deliver our nature outreach programme.
Evidence of the loss of nature is everywhere, and biodiversity is higher on the political agenda than it ever has been. On the one hand this is a huge opportunity for conservation but on the other, it is hard to stay positive in the face of overwhelming evidence of ecological crisis. How best can biodiversity scientists respond to these circumstances? Using evidence of how and where conservation works, and with a framing of conservation optimism, I will give my take on how we can work together as a scientific community towards a future where people and nature thrive.
