What to expect:
A blended session consisting of a tour and workshop session. Our Biodiversity session covers the measurement of biodiversity from a species, genetic and ecosystem perspective before discussing how our charity implements these approaches when monitoring wild populations. Building on this we introduce the challenges that global biodiversity faces and how our charity is supporting conservation efforts on a global scale. This is complimented through our interactive team based quiz to consolidate this new knowledge in context.
