'State of Nature' Panel Discussion for Earth Day
22 Apr, -
Online Online
SUSUFREEMost people are aware that nature is being increasingly threatened and biodiversity is declining sharply. But are governments and local councils too focused on economic recovery? Is the limited bandwidth they have for tackling environmental problems focused on the ‘climate emergency’, rather than the broader ‘climate and ecological emergency’ that many groups are demanding urgent action on?
Attendees will have a chance to put questions to the panel as well as listen to the discussion on this important topic.
Chair: Dr Tony Curran, Senior Public Engagement Fellow at the University of Southampton, runs Southampton Nature and Biodiversity Community Hub, Environmental Science Communicator. @tonycurran1
Panel:
Dr Jake Snaddon, Lecturer in Environmental Sciences at the University of Southampton, with research interests focused on biodiversity, ecosystems and conservation. @JLSnaddon
Jamie Marsh, Senior Reserves Manager at Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust. @jamiemarsh77
Corin Holloway, Vice President (Activities) at University of Southampton Students’ Union (SUSU), Coordinator, BioCycle, member of Southampton University Conservation Volunteers.
Dr Izzy Sargent, background in research and environmental sciences and local resident passionate about the natural world and protecting local green spaces. @thepenguinjunk
