What’s the link between biodiversity loss and human-driven climate change? Why does Simon love beavers so much? And what exactly is “COP16”?\nThis episode explores some of the key issues at play – focusing on global ecosystems and local conservation efforts, and coincides with the Sixteenth Convention on Biological Diversity in Cali, Columbia.\nHosts Mark and Simon are joined in the studio by Elliot Newton of The Ealing Beaver Project: a collaboration between the Ealing Wildlife Group, Citizen Zoo, The Friends of Horsenden & Ealing Council. And UCL expert Dr Alex Pigot, whose work on evolutionary biodiversity helps predict how ecosystems are responding to climate change.\nWhile at the conference in Cali, Simon also catches up with freshwater systems expert: UCL’s Dr Izzy Bishop, to discuss the work she took to COP16.\nCitizen Zoo www.citizenzoo.org/\nThe Ealing Beaver Project theealingbeaverproject.com/\nUCL Faculty of Life Sciences biodiversity campaign www.ucl.ac.uk/lifesciences-facul…rsity-ucl-priority\nFind out more about UCL at COP16 www.ucl.ac.uk/climate-change/ucl-cop/ucl-and-cop16\nAccess the transcript www.ucl.ac.uk/climate-change/pod…ne-climate-podcast\n\nDate of episode recording: Friday 18th October 2024\nDuration: 45 mins\nLanguage of episode: English \nPresenter: Professor Mark Maslin and Dr Simon Chin-Yee \nGuests:\nElliot Newton, Head of Conservation at Citizen Zoo and Creative Director at A Focus On Nature\nDr Alex Pigot, Professorial Research Fellow in the UCL Division of Biosciences\nDr Izzy Bishop, Lecturer in Ecology, UCL’s People and Nature Lab\nProducers:\nAdam Batstone\nCaitlin Mullin\nJane Yelloly","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/msBEF0XPSvhkAPgiSmXu2E8S1x13gq1P83KyHt8U688/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81MzVi/ZmJkN2FhOGYzN2Y4/ZjJlMzI3ZDAwMDBi/N2M3OC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
