The School of Life visits London Zoo with Mark Earls and Bridget Nicholls

The School of Life visited London Zoo last week with Mark Earls (of HERD fame). They popped into the Zoo Arts Club with Pestival, and Bridget talked about our place in the ecosystem and the fact that insects really run the planet (10 quintillion of them and 7 billion or so of us), and that without them we wouldn’t be here as they are the pollinators and caretakers of the planet.

Bridget also talked about what we can learn from social insects in terms of management systems and human social structures.

Here are some photos from the day by photographer Stephanie Wolff *(whose blog London Insight you can read here):
