Episode 11
Recorded at the Bristol Festival of Nature, Brett Westwood and guests question the language used in wildlife conservation.
11/40. This episode of Saving Species has been recorded at the Bristol Festival of Nature.
In this special programme in front of a live audience we ask "Biodiversity - is there a problem with the word". We question the language used in wildlife conservation and with an invited group of experts discuss whether the words used in wildlife conservation provide understanding and engage the audience. Do we like words like "sustainability", "ecological services", "climate change", and "favourable status" - And "biodiversity"? What does biodiversity mean?
Language, both visual and spoken will be essential this Sunday Night on ±«Óãtv2 when the ±«Óãtv presents a fund raising programme WILD NIGHT IN to raise money for wildlife conservation through the ±«Óãtv Wildlife Fund.
On the panel are: Professor Jonathan Silvertown from the Open University, Matthew Oates, Conservationist from the National Trust, Kelvin Boot, naturalist & Media Consultant, Paul Evans, Wildlife Writer & Broadcaster and Martin Kiszko, Composer & Poet.
Presented by Brett Westwood
Produced by Sheena Duncan
