The most biodiverse place on Earth, Ecuador’s Yasuni National Park is under threat. Having been associated with the Yasuni for 25 years, Pete will discuss how he has tried to raise the profile of the “Green Hell” and the “Savages” that call the park home in the eyes of the Ecuadorian people. If the goal of conservation is to protect the maximum species diversity possible, then surely Yasuni should be #1 on the list of places to preserve as here, for every hectare conserved, more species can be protected than anywhere else on the planet.
