Aliens on Your Doorstep: Invasive Species and You

Season 3 · Episode 5

Monday, September 25, 2023 • Duration 30:57

Did you know aliens live among us? IPBES just launched its landmark new Report on Invasive Alien Species and their Control – the largest study ever of its kind. Join Brit as she speaks with one of the co-chairs of that Assessment, Professor Helen Roy, about her enthusiasm for addressing these risks and her optimism about our chances to reduce biological invasions and their very damaging impacts. Brit also interviews Dr. Maria Loreto Castillo about how the simple beaver has become the focus of some very complex opinions in different parts of the world.

Your Challenge…and Mine: The Sustainable Use of Wild Species

Season 2 · Episode 3

Wednesday, February 23, 2022 • Duration 29:35

We may not realize it, but all of us use and benefit from wild species. Algae, fungi, plants and animals - from medicine to food, they’re important parts of our quality of life. But the IPBES Global Assessment identified over-exploitation of species as one of the main drivers of change in biodiversity. So how are we using wild species? Is there such a thing as sustainable use? How does illegal trade play into all this?

This week, Brit talks to two guests. Dr. John Donaldson is a biodiversity scientist and one of the Co-chairs of the IPBES Assessment of the Sustainable Use of Wild Species, due for release later this year. Ivonne Higuero is the Secretary-General of CITES, the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

How the ‘Sausage’ Gets Made: Inside an IPBES Assessment

Season 2 · Episode 2

Wednesday, February 16, 2022 • Duration 27:33

IPBES assessments are massive undertakings. The IPBES Global Assessment alone involved 150 experts from 50 countries, donating thousands of hours of time over three years. So how is one of these assessments put together? What’s it like in the late-night negotiations behind closed doors? What makes such a colossal process worth the effort? Rob is joined by his long-time colleague and friend, Hien Ngo, to answer all these questions. Hien was the Head of the technical support unit for the IPBES Global Assessment.

Fast Forward #ForNature: The IPBES Fellowship

Season 2 · Episode 1

Wednesday, February 9, 2022 • Duration 31:11

To be an IPBES author, you need to be one of the very best in your field. Typically this means having decades of published research to your name. But making space for a variety of voices is at the heart of IPBES. Through its Fellowship Programme, IPBES offers exceptional early-career researchers a ‘seat at the table’. Dr. Lelani Mannetti is a Fellow on the IPBES Values Assessment, and speaks to Brit about the Fellowship as a ‘fast-forward’ mechanism.

Brit also talks to Juliette Prieur, from AXA’s Research Fund, which is making a significant financial contribution to IPBES - specifically to support the Fellowship Programme. She tells us about the importance of supporting young researchers and why an insurance company would finance biodiversity research.
