There have been many biodiversity wins and success stories (check out our ‘happy mondays’ stories highlight!)

But there are many changes that need to be made on an individual, university and global level in order to protect biodiversity.

[UoS Sustainability Committee🌿 @Sustcom_]

The biodiversity crisis and climate change means the need for conservation is only going to increase, emphasising the importance for this increased protection to be both effective and equitable.

[UoS Sustainability Committee🌿 @Sustcom_]
