What do we really know about biodiversity? Inside Biodiversity brings you in-depth conversations with leading researchers tackling the most pressing and controversial questions in biodiversity science. Each episode features experts who challenge common narratives, reveal surprising trends, and explore solutions for conservation. From species extinctions to ecosystem resilience, we go beyond the headlines to uncover the complexities of nature. Whether you're a scientist, conservationist, or just curious about the state of life on Earth, this podcast will change the way you see biodiversity. Inside Biodiversity is hosted by the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Ciencia Ciencias Biológicas Ciencias Geológicas

    How Concerning Is Biodiversity Change?
    Jul 3 2025
    While some biodiversity change trends are deeply worrying, such as the decline of common bird species in North America, others offer hope, such as the recovery of rare birds: “I've seen in my lifetime species that were locally extinct come back, and rivers that were dead come back to life,” says Inside Biodiversity guest Henrique Pereira. “And that's because there's been so much positive development from environmental policy in Europe and in other countries in the world.”

    Is Biodiversity Loss Always Bad?
    Jun 5 2025
    Is biodiversity loss always bad? What if cutting down an old-growth forest actually increases the number of species? According to biodiversity researcher Jonathan Chase, “You can have huge levels of biodiversity in habitats that are strongly degraded by people.”

  • How Much Are Humans Changing Biodiversity?

    How Much Are Humans Changing Biodiversity?
    May 1 2025
    In this episode of Inside Biodiversity, we talk to Andrew Gonzalez about how biodiversity is changing – and how humans are driving this process. Gonzalez discusses shifts in species composition, critiques conclusions drawn from time-series analyses we covered in episode one, and calls for better data to link changes to human impacts. Drawing on climate science, he proposes a “detection and attribution” approach and urges scientists to focus on solutions. A thought-provoking look at the science and communication of biodiversity change.
