Lessons from past biodiversity loss
Donatella Magri, Associate Professor at Sapienza University explores the role of climate as a driver of biodiversity loss during the past 2.6 million years. She explains the stages of biodiversity loss, from reduced geographical distribution to survival in refuges until a tipping point is passed after which a species can no longer re-establish itself even in a favorable climate. This is the point when the species risks extinction.
