Eckart von Hirschhausen, a physician turned comedian, has become an advocate for planetary health. In his entertaining and informative introduction to this DLD24 panel discussion about biodiversity he emphasizes the importance of preserving the environment for the sake of human health.
He recalls his encounter with famous biologist Jane Goddall who asked him why humans, the most intelligent species on Earth, are destroying their own home.
Watch the video to also hear from ecologist Auguste von Bayern (Biotopia) and Sandrine Dixson-Declève, co-president of the Club of Rome. The lively conversation of the three panelists shows the urgency of action but will also give you hope that there are ways to restore nature and prevent worse, if we recognize humanity’s interdependence with the natural world.
