On 6th May 2021, ONet held an online seminar with Dr. Jason Hickel and Dr. Laura Pereira on the topic of Degrowth for Biodiversity Conservation.

Following our recent online event, "Degrowth for Biodiversity Conservation", with Dr. Laura Pereira and Dr. Jason Hickel, we are delighted that Dr. Pereira has agreed to answer further questions from the audience which we did not have time to cover during the event.
