Season 1 | Ep. 10 - The importance of Biodiversity
Description
Who hasn’t heard about biodiversity? A mighty term that encapsulates the variety of life on Earth and its interactions, in all its forms from genes and bacteria to entire ecosystems such as forests or coral reefs. But despite the increasing public discussion around the topic in the past decade, it is still too little to amount to its importance for our survival.
