Understand how biodiversity risk may impact your business
Biodiversity loss is presently one of our greatest challenges globally and will have tangible impacts on businesses. Understanding what biodiversity is, the risks that unchecked biodiversity loss presents to healthy earth systems, and therefore to business continuity is essential knowledge for all business leaders.
We can't solve problems we don't understand, so biodiversity literacy will help you strategise smarter - with the blinkers off.
What is Biodiversity Collage?
What is Climate Fresk?
We use a workshop framework called The Biodiversity Collage, which has educated and engaged over 65,000 participants worldwide.
It's based on the UN's IPBES reports, making the science more accessible to foster a deeper understanding of biodiversity's value and the actions needed to protect it.
In just a few hours, you can grasp the science behind ecosystem functions and threats, as well as explore real-world solutions, making it a powerful tool for creating lasting environmental change.

WORKSHOP TAKEAWAYS
"Before doing the workshop with Melissa, I knew a lot of the elements of biodiversity, but my knowledge was only surface level. The workshop gave me a more in depth insight into how biodiversity works and a clearer picture of the interconnectedness. Being able to talk through our ideas as a group as we tried to map everything out made it easier to understand and was a fun way to learn. Melissa was there to guide us every step of the way, and there were layers gradually added, rather than being overwhelmed with too much info to process all at once. I thoroughly enjoyed my learning experience and would definitely recommend it as a team-building exercise for a company to take on together."

"I thought I knew a little about biodiversity and the crisis, but what I knew was more about climate change, and that was only the small bits of information taken from the media. After doing the Biodiversity Collage, I now know that climate change is just one small part of a whole larger crisis. The format of the Biodiversity Collage is an interactive and fun way to learn a lot of information about an important cause. It encourages you to think and analyse things in your own way, but also allowing you to work together as a team. I feel more informed about the biodiversity crisis and feel like I can see the picture as a whole. I would encourage others to try the Biodiversity Collage as it is an enjoyable way to become informed and the more people that better understand this crisis, the more of us there are to help make a change."

"I only knew a little information about biodiversity before this workshop. It was so interesting to link everything together and I enjoyed how we could see it all on this platform. I am going to take away a lot more information that I can use in my personal life and in my community."
