"A talk about the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees: Biodiversity protection in the UK and around the world" - Law AberWorkshop
The scientific community at home and abroad have been sounding the alarm about the decline in biodiversity - that is the number of individual species of fish, mammals, birds, insects, amphibians and plants as well as the number of individuals within those species – for quite a while now. We all have seen images of the Great Panda or footage of whales in the oceans and their fight for survival. Lack of decisive action has led us to the point where it is now widely accepted that we are experiencing the 6th extinction event in global history, the first of those events that is entirely human made. This talk will explore some of the reasons for this, the effects on you and me, and then focus on the law underpinning domestic and international attempts to stem the tide, and whether or not they actually work.
AberWorkshops are designed to be interactive and thought-provoking, providing valuable insight into university study and subject pathways while encouraging critical thinking and discussion.
