Human activities are the primary driver of biodiversity loss and significant determinant on species distribution, persistence and richness. Our impact on the natural world has sweeping consequences for all aspects of human wellbeing. 'Maggie #1' invites dialogue around our social values and engagement with our environment and wildlife conservation. It asks us to consider how we perceive and experience the natural world and to reflect on our role in creating a healthy equilibrium for all living things.
