Summary
Here’s the recorded version of Saturday’s post about an encouraging study that found that the loss of animals, plants and fungi seems to be slowing down, at least compared to the past 500 years. Have an extra two minutes? If you haven’t already done so, I’d greatly appreciate if you could answer a few questions to help me make Nature Signals better! For links to the study and other resources, check out the written version here: Know someone who might enjoy this post? I’d love for you to share it: Nature Signals is a reader-supported publication.
