Summary

Scientists issue an urgent warning that action is needed this decade to reshape the future of humanity. With ecological collapse looming large, perhaps even surpassing the threat of climate change, it’s clear that humanity’s alteration and exploitation of landscapes pose the greatest danger to global biodiversity. The burning question arises: How do we swiftly shift from Earth’s exploiters to its dedicated stewards? How can we support the living world to rejuvenate expeditiously?

Replay our lively discussion on restoring biodiversity and habitats at a monumental scale.

Our host, Alexandra Steed, FLI, founder of Urban landscape practice and author of ‘Portrait to Landscape: A Landscape Strategy to Reframe Our Future‘, brings a passion for healing our broken relationship with nature.

Accompanying her is Professor David Hill CBE, Founding Owner and Chairman of Environment Bank and Past President of CIEEM, who introduced the ground-breaking Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) concept to the UK, shaping conservation policy for the last four decades. And don’t miss insights from Walid Al Saqqaf, CEO, and co-founder of Rebalance Earth, on redirecting private capital to protect and restore nature on a massive scale.
