S2:E31 (Full Version) BIODIVERSITY, CLIMATE & AN ANTHROPOLOGIST WALK INTO A BAR.....

<p>We've long been exploring ways to help people understand the relationship between our climate and biodiversity crises.</p> <p>Well, who better to do this than an Environmental Anthropologist? &nbsp;After all, theses crises are results of human behavior and systems, and anthropology is the study of that those behaviors and systems.</p> <p><a href="https://anthropology.indiana.edu/about/faculty/brondizio-eduardo.html" target="_blank">Eduardo Brondizio</a> is an anthropologist at Indiana University. &nbsp;He's also Co-Chair of the <a href="https://ipbes.net/">IPBES</a> Global Assessment on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. An organization dedicated to the furthering of conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity for long term human well being and ecosystem health.</p> <p>This episode should help clarify just how interlinked the issues of biodiversity, climate, and social justice are. &nbsp;As well as why biodiversity has had a bit of a public communications challenge and how to address it.</p> <p>-------------------</p> <p>Speaking of biodiversity, we are launched a special edition collection of sustainably made hoodie and sweats (100% certified green cotton from Groceries Apparel) to help raise funds and awareness for Polymita snails. A snail endemic to Cuba that is under serious threat and with it, the Cuban forests. &nbsp;Learn more about that project and the team in Cuba fighting to <a href="https://joinanimalia.com/polymita-snails-sustainable-collection/" target="_blank">protect these snails here</a>.</p>
