the voice of nature

The state of biodiversity in our polluted ecosystems is dismal. In the Netherlands, almost half of all species are under pressure. This must and can be changed. VPRO Tegenlicht investigates: are we listening to nature and giving it enough of a voice?

High time to give the rudder a good shake and jump into the breach for our ecosystems and biodiversity. If not, the only animals on earth will soon be living in stables. So: how do we stop the decline? How do we bring back wildlife? And how do we ensure that animals can live good lives?
