Across the globe our vast ecosystems are rapidly changing. From rainforests to deserts, to oceans and beyond, the impacts on the environment, growing population and human activity are apparent.
During this session we will explore some of the world’s eroding hotspots. We will identify strategies to reduce the pressure on ecosystems while meeting the demands for their services such as food, water, timber and fuel, to name a few.
We will also aim to better understand how corporate citizens can engage in conservation initiatives and partner with research institutes to implement solutions.
