Participants will explore the question: "What is the value of biodiversity?" We'll discuss biodiversity's value from intrinsic and utilitarian perspectives and discuss why saving Earth's species is a critically important matter for all humans. The personal link between biodiversity and human wellbeing has been demonstrated in numerous studies, a compelling body of research that we'll discuss here. Lastly we'll discuss the current plight of global biodiversity and how we can each personally help to alleviate threats.
