As we celebrate the theory of natural selection, are we actually encouraging unnatural selection by promoting the constant protection of biodiversity at all costs? Nature-related topics such as climate change, biodiversity, health, sustainable development, are full of such contradictions. How can we use them as drivers for greater knowledge and even to address the deeper issues beyond the controversies? Experts and facilitators will help you to learn from this experience. This session is proposed on behalf of the Ecsite Nature Group, a thematic group of Ecsite members.
