This workshop explores key components such as ecosystem function, the various benefits biodiversity provides to humanity, its interplay with human activities, and the present threats to biodiversity, before identifying ways to reduce our impacts and set up regenerative strategies.
It is an eye-opener for any individual and organisation that wants to understand why we entered the 6th mass extinction – the one before was the dinosaur 65M years ago.
- Starters: recreate ecosystems - Divided into groups of 5-7, recreate an ecosystem and discover the impacts of human disturbance within it.
- Organise the cards of the Collage - Find the links between the 39 cards, distributed in 5 lots, to understand what biodiversity is, what it enables and what degrades it.
- Turn your Collage into a piece of art - Decorate and find a title for the Collage in order to present your work to the other groups.
- Debrief and actions - Reflect on learnings and collectively develop an action plan to stop biodiversity loss. The debrief is adapted to the objectives of each workshop.
