Listen up to learn why Plants Will Save Us

✺ Why will plants save us? ✺

  • Plants Will Save Us is an idea, a concept that without plants human and animal life will not exist. When looking solutions for biodiversity loss and climate change, we believe that we need to be more attuned to plants to help save the planet, and therefore humans.

  • According to the Oxford dictionary, a Keystone Species is:

    1. a species on which other species in an ecosystem largely depend, such that if it were removed the ecosystem would change drastically.

  • We invite visionary leaders and researchers to share their version of why “plants will save us” that we are aligned with. These guests may be physicians, ethnobotanists, herbalist, Indigenous people, activists, anthropologists or health enthusiasts.

  • Since BPRA supports researchers from around the globe doing whole plant research, you will have the opportunity to meet the researchers on the podcast and learn more about their work. And, you can support us with donations at any time to keep this going.
