Download Saving Species Sustaining Life

In a special edition of Saving Species, recorded in front of an audience at the University of Bristol, Brett Westwood chairs a discussion about the building tension between the natural world and the burgeoning human population.
Every 2 seconds another child is born. The human population is now over 7 billion and is projected to rise to 9 billion by 2050. All these people will need food, water, energy and materials, is that possible? How can a burgeoning population really live with a flourishing natural world?
Sustaining Life takes the issue of the human population and nature head on.
Presenter: Brett Westwood
Producer: Mary Colwell
