Biodiversity has often been mentioned recently, particularly, with respect to the unprecedented loss of biodiversity, called the sixth mass extinction of species on Earth that is driven by human activity. What is the biodiversity? What threat to humanity comes from the loss of biodiversity? What role nature plays in our everyday life? How cut of Amazon forests in Peru affects people’s lives in Europe or the rest of the world? What is the role of environmental activists in preserving nature and what threats they face?
These are the questions that we will discuss with my guest in today’s episode.
Sandra Fernandes-Osores is an environmentalist from Peru. She majored in the science of life and then moved to the jungle of Madre de Dios, to help save wildlife, preserve the rainforest, aid local communities, and raise awareness about the importance of saving nature. 11 years ago, Sandra co-founded Amazon Planet for Tourism and Conservation, a sustainable luxury resort in the middle of the rainforest to bring people from all over the world to experience nature. Sandra is also active in several conservation projects that the resort Amazon Planet helps to fund. https://www.amazonplanetperu.com/home
