Poles of Possibility: Values of Nature Beyond Use

This week, we’re traveling to the South Pole. Brit finds out more about an epic expedition to Antarctica by one of the IPBES assessment co-chairs, Professor Mike Christie, and his Paralympian teammate, Karen Darke. Get the inside track on their phenomenal adventure, and find out how an extreme landscape, not known for its biodiversity, helped them to better understand the tremendous values of nature beyond use. 

 

The sounds from Antarctica were recorded by Mike Webster, who followed Mike and Karen on their expedition.
