[0:02] In the words of Sir David Attenborough

[0:04] we are facing the man-made disaster of global scale.

[0:16] Climate change, habitat loss, pollution and falling insect numbers

[0:18] threatening the collapse of civilizations

[0:19] and the extinction of much of the

[0:22] natural world. Plastic pollution in every

[0:26] river and ocean contaminate our food and

[0:28] kill hundreds of thousands of sea birds

[0:30] and animals every year. Greenhouse gas

[0:36] emissions are rising in the last 30

[0:39] years we've lost rainforest areas the

[0:41] size of South Africa which are vital for

[0:44] trapping and storing excess carbon. But,

[0:49] it doesn't have to be like this...

[0:55] With the right knowledge we can make a

[0:58] difference. With the right research we

[1:01] can plan another future for our planet

[1:03] and, at Bangor University you can play

[1:06] your part in doing just that. By studying

[1:09] the potential of waves and tides, for

[1:11] offshore renewable energy aboard our

[1:13] university research vessel....

[1:15] By researching honeybee behaviour and

[1:17] habitat restoration techniques at our

[1:19] university farm and reintroducing native

[1:22] species to improve pollination... By using

[1:25] Internet connected devices to guide

[1:27] action on air pollution and emissions,

[1:29] nitrate levels, soil quality and solar

[1:32] energy.  That's why I chose to study at

[1:36] School of Ocean Sciences. of Natural

[1:38] Sciences, of Computer Science and

[1:41] Electronic Engineering. At Bangor

[1:44] University in north Wales,

[1:50] discover more about living and learning

[1:53] between the sea and the mountains.

[1:55] Register for our open days today,  and go

[1:59] on to make a difference.
