Tom Lovejoy, the fellow that coined the term biological diversity is the guest for the Mongabay Newscast this week:
- *Lovejoy joined the Mongabay Newscast to talk about how deforestation and the impacts of climate change could trigger dieback in the Amazon and other tropical forests, causing them to shift into non-forest ecosystems, as well as the other trends impacting the world’s biodiversity he’s most concerned about.* - *He says it’s time for a paradigmatic shift in how we approach the conservation of the natural world: “We really have got to the point now where we need to think about managing the entire planet as a combined physical and biological system.”* https://news.mongabay.com/2018/09/audio-the-godfather-of-biodiversity-on-why-its-time-to-manage-earth-as-a-system/ Listen at the link above or subscribe to the Mongabay Newscast on Android <https://subscribeonandroid.com/mongabay.libsyn.com/rss%E2%80%9D>, Google Play <https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ii23ecdja5vf2we3ahata3x7ui>, Apple Podcasts <https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mongabay-newscast/id1155856616?mt=2>, Stitcher <https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/mongabay-newscast>, TuneIn <http://tunein.com/radio/Mongabay-Newscast-p914475/>, RSS <http://mongabay.libsyn.com/rss>, or via Spotify.
