Health and Biodiversity - with Patrick Earls

As the Citizens’ Assembly on Biodiversity Loss meets this Autumn, we are bringing people together through a series of lunchtime webinars to hear from the experts on what is causing biodiversity loss, what is being done to address the crisis and what we can do as individuals and communities to get more involved.

In this episode we will hear about Health and Biodiversity, from Patrick Earls of Irish Doctors for the Environment.

Patrick is a doctor currently working as a GP in Dublin. He has a background in environmentalism having worked with Greenpeace for many years when living in the UK. On returning to Ireland he was delighted to discover and join Irish Doctors for the Environment who highlight the interdependence between human and planetary health. He is also involved in a nascent campaign called Urban Tree Revival which is campaigning to increase biodiversity and tree canopy in Ireland's cities.
