Dr. Alison Green talks to two ecologists about the urgent need for scientists to speak out about the ecological emergency we currently face.

Dr. Aaron Thierry, Cardiff University, received his Ph.D. in Ecology from the University of Sheffield. He subsequently researched the impacts of global warming on the carbon cycle in Arctic ecosystems at Edinburgh University. His studies have led him to be very concerned about the potential impacts of disruptions to our climate.

Dr. Charlie Gardner, Kent University, is an interdisciplinary researcher, conservationist, and activist with a particular interest in societal responses to the climate and biodiversity emergencies. From 2005 to 2015, he was based in Madagascar, where he worked with WWF and other NGOs on the country’s ambitious ‘Durban Vision’, to triple the extent of the protected area network.
