Malgorzata Blicharska on biodiversity
(Image removed) The more species and the more stable and complex the ecosystem is, the more resilient it is against environmental pressures – such as climate change. In the picture you see the Białowieża Forest, one of the last and largest remaining parts of the immense primeval forest that once stretched across the European Plain.Photo: Matton.
Biodiversity makes us more resilient
Biodiversity is declining globally. Why is it so important, in the forest and for humans? Can it protect us from the effects of climate change? What can be done at a political level to preserve biodiversity? Listen to a podcast with researcher Malgorzata Blicharska, who is a participant in the TV series "The Age of Nature".
People in Sweden may think that they lead good lives and that they don’t´ need more biodiversity; but we have to remember that we have good lives mostly because we import a lot of resources from other countries and by doing that we often destroy the biodiversity in those countries. (Malgorzata Blicharska)
