COP16: Countries meet in Colombia to tackle ‘largest loss of life since the dinosaurs’

This week in Colombia, nearly 200 countries are gathered for COP16 to discuss ways of conserving biodiversity on the planet. The slogan of the COP16 is “Peace with Nature,” but the impact of humanity’s relationship with nature has not been so serene: According to United Nations Environmental Programme, the Earth is experiencing “its largest loss of life since the dinosaurs,” and much can be attributed to human activity. Host Marco Werman spoke to ecologist Tom Oliver, who has been following the event. He’s a professor of applied ecology at University of Reading in the UK.
