Episode 19: Biodiversity at Risk: Why Ecosystem Resilience Matters

On this episode of Eco-Echo, host Nil Kıran and guest Aybars Aktaş explore one of the defining challenges of our time — biodiversity loss and ecosystem resilience. With nearly one million species at risk of extinction, what does this mean for global food security, climate stability, and human survival? From the decline of pollinators to coral reef collapse, the conversation unpacks how species loss destabilizes the systems we depend on. We highlight research from institutions like Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and Oxford, alongside efforts from WWF, Conservation International, and the UN’s 30x30 initiative. Discover how scientists, indigenous communities, and innovators are working to restore balance — and why protecting biodiversity is key to a sustainable future.
