In the newest episode of our new Resilient Futures Podcast (formerly the Future Cities Podcast), Alysha and Todd are joined by Kyle McKay (USACE Research Civil Engineer) and Charles van Rees (Conservation Scientist at UGA) to discuss all things biodiversity.
Biodiversity is an ecological concept that can be difficult to quantify, but is critical for environmental stability. It’s also something that engineers working on nature-based projects have to keep in mind for the creation and restoration of natural infrastructure systems. Learn more, including where to listen, here.
We also ask each of our guests to write a haiku about their topic. Here are this month’s poems:
Charles:
Safe homes and good health,
butterfly, thistle, finch, fox.
Choose both: it’s all life.
Kyle:
Built or natural?
Intergenerational
Legacy is key.
Todd:
All species on Earth
comprise the planet’s machine.
Pluck, pull, push, kaput.
