We’re a team of biologists, environmental researchers and filmmakers making a series in response to the recent David Attenborough’s documentary ‘A Life on our Planet’ (2020); investigating how we can drive impactful action to protect our planet and our futures.
In this introductory Episode join Phil in finding our what Biodiversity is, why it's important and what the team intend to do in response ‘A Life on our Planet’ (2020).
Who are we? This is a collaboration between Eco Sapien (@ecosapien on Insta) and Earth Minutes (@earthmintuesuk on Insta) - BTS coming soon (October 2021)
In this Series, we address key drivers of biodiversity loss; Overexploitation (Episode 2), Pollution (Episode 3), Invasive Species (Episode 4) and Climate Change (Episode 5). Each Episode addresses possible actions we can take to drive impact in the long-term. Featuring a range of experts, from biologists, campaigners to sustainability leaders, we’re celebrating a diverse range of ideas, experiences, knowledge and actions.
