    3. Burning Biodiversity: Is Biodiversity Loss Making Natural Disasters Worse?
    2025/06/25
    This podcast raises awareness on biodiversity loss and its consequences, including its role
    in worsening natural disasters. It also explores what we, as humans, can do—by rethinking
    our relationship with nature and shifting from Living FROM Nature to Living WITH
    Nature—toward a more sustainable and resilient future.
    Living from nature for centuries has led to increased biodiversity loss, which has in turn
    made natural disasters such as wildfires have more severe consequences on humanity. On
    the other hand, indigenous communities have used controlled wildfires as conservation
    practices that led to increasing biodiversity. In this episode, we will tackle how different value
    systems can influence environmental practices and aid in battling the consequences of
    wildfires and even prevent them.

    Nauru was once the richest nation on Earth, thanks to vast phosphate deposits. But decades
    of relentless mining led to environmental ruin and economic collapse. This episode tells the
    story of how the pursuit of short-term profit destroyed a nation’s future—and offers a stark
    warning about the cost of ignoring sustainability.

  • 1. Biodiversity Flooded

    1. Biodiversity Flooded
    2025/06/25
    In the debut episode of Biodiversity: Behind the Buzzword, we dive into the complex issue of
    invasive species and their impact on biodiversity loss. Using the blue crab invasion in the
    Venice Lagoon as a case study, we examine how a single species can disrupt an entire
    ecosystem. Along the way, we invite listeners to reflect on how we assign value to
    nature—and how that perspective shapes our response to environmental challenges.
