Biodiversity in Crisis

How linked are the Climate Crisis and the Nature Crisis? We talk to Professor Andy Purvis of the Natural History Museum about managing nature rather than mining it, Greta, over consumption, lobbying, shifting baselines and how we can encourage the behaviour change that nature so desperately needs. Amanda goes on location to see first hand the threat to one small woodland rich in biodiversity and a superhighway for invertebrates is at risk of destruction.
