From pangolins to plants: how we’re getting better at protecting nature
A new global study shines a light on what’s working.
Nature conservation is effective at protecting animals and plants - and we’re getting better at it. That’s according to a new major study published in the journal Science. Esme Stallard, a ±«Óãtv climate and science reporter, explains what conservation is, where it’s worked (including for humpback whales), and why we need it.
Plus, we hear from two people who work in conservation. Charles Emogor has a PhD in pangolins and is from Nigeria. He shares why he loves them and how he’s saving them from being hunted. And Aiita Joshua Apamaku, from Uganda, tells us why he finds conservation so exciting.
