Online Biodiversity Loss talk for NEA (Dec)

Mr Tay Kwang Hong, from Ops Support Unit in National Environment Agency (NEA), invited Earth Society to conduct an online Biodiversity Loss Talk for their staffs on 09 Dec. This is the 2^nd time NEA invited us to conduct a talk for their staff in 2020.

On 09 Dec, Earth Society team joined Mr Tay online (via Zoom platform) at 3.15 pm. 

We conducted a Biodiversity Loss talk for about 40 staffs from 3.30 pm to 4.40 pm.  

We presented on Overfishing, Deforestation, Climate change, Loss in Biodiversity and Factory farming. We also touched on issues such as No Shark fin, reduce Factory farming, Veggie days and UNEP ‘Planetary Health Diet’. We also introduced various Environmental heros to the participants.

NEA staffs listened attentively to the talk and participated actively in the Q&A at the end of the talk.

Feedback from NEA Staffs:

1) It has given me greater insights on the methods that individuals can use to contribute to minimise Biodiversity Loss.

2) Thanks for the informative talk. I will recommend my colleagues to attend talks like this in the future.

3) I will practise meatless Monday and will try to influence my friends and family too as it is not too challenging to start as a first step.

4) I will try to eat less meat so I can leave some food for the next generation.

5) My perspectives of impossible meat has changed. I will probably try it soon.
