Tony Juniper CBE is a prominent environmental figure, Chair of the British Government’s official conservation agency Natural England and a Fellow with the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. His books include the multi-award winning What Has Nature Ever Done For Us? and Harmony, which was co-authored with His Majesty King Charles III.

The Leverhulme Centre for Anthropocene Biodiversity has a novel and optimistic approach to biodiversity change in the Anthropocene, acknowledging gains as well as losses and helping to reframe conservation narratives that enable positive responses to the opportunities available to us in the Anthropocene. Our research contributes to shaping conservation narratives, informing conservation practice and influencing public and policy approaches to the ‘biodiversity crisis’. Our perspective provides a much-needed refocusing and empowering framework for positive change in the Anthropocene.
