Antibiotics, pain killers and even treatments for cancer – many are derived from nature. But we are killing off the species that could provide the next nature-based cure. How bad is biodiversity loss for our health? We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.
