Main Speaker: Brenda Tahi
Topic: ‘Both Hands’: Diverse Knowledge Systems for Saving the Planet’s Biodiversity.
Drawing on her role at the very centre of international biodiversity science, Brenda’s work alongside her colleagues in IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services), pushes back against the assumption that Western science alone can save us. She reveals how Indigenous Peoples, who manage lands containing around 80% of the world’s remaining biodiversity, offer so much to the transformational effort needed to turn the biodiversity crisis around.
