My guests are Samantha Deacon — Global Lead, Biodiversity and Ecosystems at Ramboll and Mette Søs Lassesen — Europe Director for Environment & Health at Ramboll and the Executive Council Membermember of ULI Denmark.

Together with Mette and Samantha, we discuss the biodiversity crisis and efforts in nature restoration.
