The UN Convention on Biological Diversity summit, currently taking place in Montreal Canada, intends to develop ways of reducing the global loss of biological diversity by drawing up a series of international commitments to help humanity to live more harmoniously with nature. The scientific evidence paints a grim picture of species decline and extinction, pollution and destruction of natural habitats. The aim of the meeting is to find ways to stop and even reverse such decline.

We meet leading figures involved in the negotiations, including:

Elizabeth Mrema, the Executive Secretary of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity

Inger Andersen Executive Director of UN Environment Programme

Indigenous leaders Viviana Figueroa and Lakpa Nuri Sherpa

And scientists

Professor Sandra Diaz from the University of Cordoba

Dr Marla Emery Scientific Advisor with the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research.
