Do we understand the urgency of the global biodiversity and
climate change crisis? Stephen Sackur speaks to the director of
the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, Richard Deverell. Kew Gardens
in London is a UNESCO world heritage site and home to one of the
largest collections of living plants in the world and an
unrivalled repository of preserved specimen plants collected by
scientific pioneers such as Charles Darwin. Richard Deverell has
big ambitions to put Kew at the centre of the fight to avert
environmental catastrophe by helping the public to grasp the
scale of the challenges caused by biodiversity loss and a warming
planet.
