Episode Synopsis
What if the most honest business strategy was as simple as “keep things alive”? In this episode of Green Fix we meet award‑winning environmentalist and author Natalie Kyriacou, where we unpack how biodiversity, climate stability, and social equity quietly hold up every supply chain, balance sheet, and brand promise we care about. From a tiny midge that makes chocolate possible to vultures that prop up public health, Natalie brings research‑rich stories that make the stakes unmistakable - and the solutions tangible.She confronts the extinction crisis with equal parts humour, curiosity, and urgency, weaving together quirky stories - from hippos to financiers betting on whale poo - to illuminate our hidden dependencies on nature. Her book, lauded as “the most important environmental book of our times” and praised as “racy, raucous, and riveting,” is a bold call to action for anyone from board directors to city dwellers.You can find Natalie's book at your local bookstore or online at these outlets.Natalie's Recommendation to our listeners:Mongabay Newscast Podcast News and inspiration from nature’s frontline, featuring inspiring guests and deeper analysis of the global environmental issues explored every day by the Mongabay.com team, from climate change to biodiversity, tropical ecology, wildlife, and more.
