Biodiversity beyond borders - Episode 77

When we talk about the state of our planet, it’s often in terms of decline or loss. It’s impossible to deny that biodiversity is declining, species are disappearing and deforestation is rampant. But to hold out hope, sometimes we need a more positive narrative.

That’s why this episode focuses on the love that drives successful action to protect and restore the planet, in all its diversity: love for the crops that feed us, love for the rich variety of life with which we share our world, and love for the ecosystems that sustain us all.
