I-S2, E5: I-Biodiversity endaweni Eyakhiwe I-Roundtable Ingxenye 1

Led by Claire Wansbury, this Roundtable included a superb panel of experts.

UClaire unguMqondisi we-Atkins Fellow kanye noMqondisi Wezobuchwepheshe u-Atkins, ehamba phambili emhlabeni Ubunjiniyela kanye nokubonisana ngemvelo. Uzokwabelana ngolwazi lwakhe oluthile izinto eziphilayo and natural capital. Claire is one of the UK’s top experts on biodiversity net gain, including having co-authored national good practice principles.

Ngo-2022, uClaire wafakwa ohlwini Iqeda Uhlu Lwamandla Lomqondisi wezingcweti eziyi-100 ezinethonya elikhulu kwezemvelo.

Ngesipiliyoni seminyaka engaphezu kwengu-30 njengesazi semvelo esiwine umklomelo, eminyakeni embalwa edlule, u-Claire ubesebenza nosomnotho wezemvelo nabanye ukuze akhe ukuqonda okwabiwe ngenani lezinzuzo umhlaba wethu wemvelo ozinikeza abantu.

Ekanye nabanye ozakwabo, uClaire wakhiqiza incwadi umagazini omfushane omuhle kakhulu ngaphambi kwe-COP15. Lesi isisetshenziswa esiwusizo kakhulu kungakhathaliseki ukuthi liyini izinga lakho lolwazi njengoba sihlanganisa imininingwane namathemba avela kochwepheshe abaphezulu kanye nokukhethwa kwezibonelo zezifundo.

“Ilogo ye-panda ye-WWF ebonakala emhlabeni wonke futhi ngokushesha yathatha ugqozi ku-Chi-Chi, i-panda enkulu eyafika e-London Zoo ngasekupheleni kwawo-1950. Isithombe esilula ngokumangazayo sidwetshwe isazi sezokongiwa kwemvelo saseBrithani uSir Peter Scott, ngosizo oluvela kusazi semvelo kanye nomdwebi, uGerald Watterson.

Sir Peter’s rationale for featuring the panda was powerful and practical, ‘We wanted an animal that is beautiful, is endangered, and one loved by many people in the world for its appealing qualities. We also wanted an animal that had an impact in black and white to save money on printing costs.’

That logo and the reasons behind it offer a beacon of hope for me. While pandas are considered to be vulnerable, they are no longer endangered thanks to the decades of specialist knowledge in breeding and conservation efforts carried out around the world.

Le ndaba ikhombisa ukuthi singenza umehluko omuhle. ”

Claire Wansbury’s excerpt from the Engineering a Nature Positive Future publication.

Ngezansi kunesinye isicaphuno esivela esihlokweni u-Claire asibhala ngokubambisana nozakwabo, i-Senior Environmentalist e-Atkins, u-Jonathan Nichols:

Esikuthole kufaneleka kakhulu ekubuyekezweni kwe-Dasgupta kwaba ukuqhathaniswa kwezinhlobonhlobo zemvelo (ingxenye eyinhloko “yeNqabayokulinda Yemvelo” yomhlaba) nephothifoliyo yokutshalwa kwezimali – akekho umtshali-zimali onengqondo ongathembela ezimpahleni ezimbalwa kuphela ukuze enze inzuzo; bazoqinisekisa ukuthi banephothifoliyo eyahlukene ukuze bathole imbuyiselo futhi banciphise ubungozi babo.

The same can be said of life on Earth. By cultivating only a few species at the expense of the rest we are putting our prosperity at risk. The effect of humans, particularly in the last thousand years, has been to erode this diversity.

The more we lose biodiversity, the more we undermine the resilience of our asset portfolio; an action that is already having grave consequences across the globe, including our ability to achieve carbon Net-Zero.
