What is biodiversity and why does it matter?

In Australia we're losing native species at a thousand to ten thousand times the natural rate, with multiple extinctions daily. The good news? You can do something about it. Mathew talks to Laura Watts about the Australian Plant Bank, National Tree Day and how every species contributes to our global biodiversity.

Bio - Laura Watts, the Collections Development Coordinator for the PlantBank, based at the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan, is deeply immersed in the intricate world of botanical conservation. A transformative experience volunteering at a wildlife sanctuary in Brazil during her gap year – coupled with volunteer work during her undergraduate years on threatened orchid conservation projects and the Rainforest Seed Conservation Project – solidified her love for botany. Through her work at PlantBank, Laura continues to make significant contributions to the conservation and understanding of Australia's unique flora.
