Life Cycle Biodiversity Bike Ride – Columbia to Cape Horn by Bike, with Kate Rawles
Life Cycle Biodiversity Bike Ride – Columbia to Cape Horn by Bike, with Kate Rawles
Join us to hear about Kate’s inspiring journey from Columbia to Cape Horn on a bamboo bike. For thirteen months she sought to find out why biodiversity is so important, what’s happening to it, and what can be done to protect it.
From the Pacific Ocean to rainforests and salt flats, Kate learns that armadillos can cross rivers by holding their breath, that Colombia has more species of birds than North America and Europe combined, and that in threatening ecosystems, we’re tearing down our own life support system. En route, she witnesses the devastation of goldmining and oil drilling but finds hope in the incredible people working to regenerate habitats and communities. As she reaches the ‘end of the world’, she realises that to tackle biodiversity loss we all have a role to play.
The start time is 7.30pm in Rhue Stoer Community Hall. Admission is on a ‘pay what you can’ basis, but donations of £5 are suggested. Refreshments are provided after the talk.
