Climate change is one of the greatest threats facing our planet. Whilst we are increasingly aware of the effects of greenhouse gas build-up, we hear very little on what is being done in the fight against it.
Professor Carl Jones is the Chief Scientific Officer of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust. By using a number of different conservation methods, Carl aims to make ecosystems more resilient and increase biodiversity. Thriving biodiversity helps the environment regenerate, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Carl’s pioneering conservation approach has contributed to bringing back at least nine species from the brink of extinction. His techniques of captive breeding, ecological replacement and reintroduction programmes have been adapted and scaled for ecosystems across the globe and serve as models for what can be achieved. In 2016, Carl was awarded the prestigious Indianapolis Prize, the ‘Nobel Prize’ of the conservation world.
