| The virtual talk with the CSIC professor will be this Wednesday, March 17 at 7:00 p.m.

| Scientist Fernando Valladares is one of the most authoritative voices on ecology.

He is one of the scientists who have spoken the clearest during the months of the pandemic, warning that "the best vaccine was an ecosystem that worked well and we have loaded it." With him the 13th quarter of Cartagena Piensa, the program of scientific thought and culture of the Cartagena City Council, closes.

The virtual talk under the title 'Biodiversity and global change' will be this Wednesday, March 17, at 7:00 p.m., through the Zoom platform. Fernando Valladares is a doctor in Biological Sciences, a research professor at the CSIC and at the Rey Juan Carlos University.

His knowledge and especially his way of exposing them have made him one of the benchmarks of the covid crisis for his courage and clarity. He is one of the oldest voices on the environmental scene in Spain.

Of those who spoke of climate change when climate change sounded distant, theoretical, to that alarmist environmentalist discourse that barely interested a few.

Fernando Valladares presents himself on his website as "a somewhat unusual scientist who combines quite diverse passions". Fernando Valladares in different interviews has commented: "I have not invented anything new, I have no other merit than to collect the reports that many other colleagues have been preparing and that we have been disseminating for more than 30 years." That, despite being one of those people who knew that this could happen, assures that the shock has been brutal: "There are still days when I wake up and think: But is it really happening?" «We scientists knew it was probable, but when you see the wave above you you don't believe it.

That is why I want to keep that emotion alive, the shock, because from there I hope that a reaction will arise in all of us.

More pandemics are coming and we have the solution right under our noses "Valladares often points out in his numerous appearances in the media. He lives devoted to scientific dissemination, which he currently works as a research professor at the CSIC, where he directs the Ecology and Global Change group at the National Museum of Natural Sciences, and as an associate professor at the Rey Juan Carlos University.

And in social networks, where he is a benchmark.

Thanks to speeches like yours, clear and brave, climate change has been on everyone's lips for years.

Also because its effects are becoming more and more visible. The act in Cartagena Piensa will be presented by one of its members of the promoter group Cayetano Gutiérrez Pérez, also a member of the Organizing Commission of the VII Conference 'An education for the XXI century.
