Description: As an ecologist and writer, my job is to raise awareness of the subtle but potent and dangerous changes that are underway in our relations with the living world and with each other, and to offer the best possible information and guidance on how to make them less severe.
This talk by Julian Caldecott was on Lost Species Day and St Andrew’s Day/ Là Naomh Anndrais , 30th November 2023, at the Edinburgh Climate Change Institute (ECCI) , and was organised by the Edinburgh Environment and Development Network (EEDN) .

I have long focused on encouraging and enabling official aid agencies to appreciate ecological reality and the power of nature-based and community-based solutions to global heating, mass extinction extinction and ecological degradation.
