We're Destroying the Nature That Keeps Us Alive - RAZOR Conversations: Sandra Diaz

The greatest threat facing humanity may not be climate change, but the collapse of biodiversity. The fabric of life itself, plants, animals, soils, water and ecosystems, underpins everything from the food we eat to the air we breathe. Yet that fabric is fraying at an alarming rate. Sandra Díaz, a professor at Oxford University, is one of the world's leading ecologists and one of the most influential voices in global environmental science.

An adviser to the United Nations and a key figure in international biodiversity policy, Díaz argues that biodiversity loss is not a separate environmental issue but a crisis that strikes at the foundations of human life. The damage we do to nature, she says, is ultimately damage we do to ourselves. In this episode of RAZOR: Conversations, Reya El-Salahi speaks with Díaz about why biodiversity should not be seen as something distant, confined to rainforests or endangered species, but as something intimately connected to our daily lives, economies, cultures and futures. #climate #nature #cgtn #razor #ecosystem #plant #biodiversity
