How sharks can help save us from a climate crisis | Liv Van Ledtje | TEDxPortsmouth

Description: Humans kill more than 11,000 sharks each hour, translating into approximately 100 million sharks every year. If, on average, it takes you 10 minutes to listen to this talk, about 1,833 sharks have already been killed. Listen as Van Ledtje helps us understand how sharks play a pivotal role in helping our oceans have order and balance. Learn how these misunderstood environmental guardians help us stave off a climate crisis. Liv Van Ledtje is a reader, thinker, and kids’ voice believer. She’s smart about all things shark and hopes to be a future ichthyologist. A student at Phillips Exeter Academy, Liv is also a passionate advocate for books and using social media to promote digital citizenship, voice, and audience. Liv is the creator of LivBits-short videos for kids and teachers about reading, thinking, and life. Her work is featured internationally as a model for digital citizenship and kid creation. Liv is a much sought after international keynote speaker, author of “Spark Change: Make Your Mark on the Digital World,” and has a podcast called, “The KidLit Show,” produced by Panoply and featured in their Pinna app. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
