Interviews with scientists - saving the world's forests

Find out how one scientist turned his student project into a career that’s allowed him to travel the world and play a role in saving the world’s forests.

In this 5-minute video Dr Ed Mitchard, of the University of Edinburgh, introduces the use of new technologies in conservation, specifically the role of REDD+ in preventing deforestation across the world.

The accompanying notes include a teachers' summary, plus student questions and answers.
