A Lake Is Never Just a Lake | Revathi Kamath | TEDxSt Pauls College

Эколог Ревати Камат объясняет, как озёра поддерживают биоразнообразие, помогают местным сообществам, пополняют грунтовые воды и сохраняют баланс окружающей среды. Выступление призывает беречь городские озёра и природные экосистемы и разделять коллективную ответственность за устойчивое будущее. Лекция прочитана на TEDxSt Pauls College, независимо организованном мероприятии TEDx.
