Discover the big ideas in conservation that have transformed the world around us From the first national parks, through ambitious schemes such as tackling the ozone hole, and recent global movements such as the school strikes for climate, humans have made huge progress in their plans to protect the natural world. The Greatest Ideas in Conservation takes you on a journey through the most influential environmental ideas and inventions of the past 100 years, exploring different people, projects and approaches that have helped to heal our planet. From Apollo 11's historic flight to the wonders of the world wide web, the world has changed beyond recognition in the past hundred years. Think Big takes a close-up look at the amazing ideas that have transformed the way we all live.
