Living Planet – the Inextricable Link Between Biodiversity, Health, Hope & Recovery

“Some of the worst effects of climate change will come not from severe weather but from the irreversible loss of species and ecosystems.” [ref. Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services report, an analogue to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)]. WWF’s annual Living Planet conference last week carried a similar message too, highlighting the links between biodiversity, health, hope and recovery. There was also acknowledgement of two Living Planet Award recipients as catalysts of change.
