Between the UN’s #CBD #COP15, tackling biodiversity loss, and #UNFCCC #COP26, tackling climate change, we are holding an event to bridge the gap between the two. It is clear how apes and their conservation is related to biodiversity, but how does this tie in with the climate? The event will be online broadcasting on both CBCGDF and Ape Alliance's social media platforms.
We have invited experts to discuss their cutting-edge research on how apes themselves can help us mitigate against climate change through their role as keystone species. Towards the end of the conference, we will hear about how we can put a value on these ecosystem services which has the potential to pay for the conservation of many species. Apes’ role in helping us and the climate could be the very thing that helps them to survive. This will also be an event CBCGDF supporting the #OneHealthDay， since after all, human and other livings share the one and only home of the blue planet of earth.
