Modern day wildlife conservation | Nick Bubb | TEDxZuriberg

Nick Bubb gives us an overview of the state of wildlife conservation in the world today. He explains why there is still a lot to be done and how governments, companies and citizens need to work together to protect our environment and critically endangered species. Wildlife conservation provides jobs, improves livelihoods and helps to address the effects of environmental and social changes.
Nick Bubb heads up Global Development at Fauna & Flora International (FFI), the world's oldest international wildlife conservation charity. FFI supports a great number of conservation programs in 47 countries, which integrate scientific expertise and local community engagement.
Nick's varied background includes significant time spent as an: engineer, professional ocean racer, sports sponsorship expert and wealth manager. After an expedition to Antarctica in 2012 and seeing the first-hand effects of climate change, Nick decided to leave the world of financial management behind and combine all his skills, experiences & networks, and dedicate himself to environmental causes. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I am proudly Certified Conservation Ranger with Conservation Rangers Operations Worldwide. Commitment is all, well said!

I really wanted to hear a talk like this! It was necessary to say that you don't need to be a biologist to be a conservationist or to help conservation. We need everyone. Change must be materialized: getting involved is starting to make it happen.
Excellent Nick.

Yea not gonna happen start thinking different, Conservation is failing that's what the UN stated last year 2019, you know why because there is no creativity and a lack of understanding for those in poverty where the highest biodiversity is being lost. I am a writing a Hypothesis that will change the very foundation how conservation will look

"I want to remind you of the value of nature..." Sad that we need a reminder but thank you for it!

[@bryonhill1605]

this is so to the point and a great insight to what is going on.

To have impact we must engage with people [and corporations] that have the potential to cause the most damage.

[@wtch6058]

Such a good speech, wish we were in the audience that day. So on point!

[@louellaoherlihy4716]

Well done Nick! You’re a great advocate 🙏🙏

I cannot believe this video got only like 30000 views. Wildlife is important. Because of humans, 600 species went extinct and now one million are facing extinction. This world is not ours. It would have been so much better if we are not in it. We should conserve wildlife. We are the outsiders. Wildlife can survive even if we leave. We have to protect it.

Love this dude. That was great.

[@marvinmacke476]

Nice speech

[@annv6781]

This must be shown to the uber wealthy and their children and to those with power.

[@chenalindelossantos967]

I'm proud to say this has influenced me to decide in becoming a Wildlife biologist ❤

[@JT-en9gb]

A dream of mine to be on the field. One day

[@dakotab291]

Can you please tell me how I can become a wildlife conservationist

[@chenalindelossantos967]

consider getting a BS Biology or any degree associated with Wild Animals for your undergrad

[@chenalindelossantos967]

You can also watch Kristina Lynn here on TH-cam for additional ideas :)

What about the mice that the Chinese bred when they were only female, it’s a last ditch effort but, it’s the least we could do

[@Alexpage1111]

could the British army special forces, sas, or any other special forces not use that as training? You ask for military personal, why not spend some of their training budget protecting wildlife

How do I help. I want to. Seriously

[@abieariyodandoro3137]

Donate to hunter funded conservation groups if you’re in the US. Also just simply buy your hunting or fishing license! Even if you don’t hunt or fish, that money goes directly to your states wildlife and public lands
