Biodiversity is vanishing at an unprecedented rate. Protected areas alone aren’t enough, funding is falling short, and global commitments risk becoming empty promises. But solutions exist.
Filmed at the Natural History Museum, London, Securing Tomorrow: The Future of Our Planet brings together leading scientists and policy experts to explore how data, technology, and finance can help halt biodiversity loss — and what’s needed to turn ambition into action.
Featuring leading experts

Emma Woods
Director of Policy & Partnerships
NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
Emma Woods
Emma joined the Museum to set up a new Policy Unit, and now leads teams responsible for policy, government relations, and international partnerships. Drawing on the Museum’s scientific expertise and public reach, she is working to extend its sphere of influence in the UK and globally. Previously at the Royal Society, the UK’s science academy, she worked with world-leading scientists to influence policy, public debate, and industry practice on issues ranging from genetic technologies to the global climate and biodiversity crises. She has also worked for the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, sustainable development charities, and teaching organisations, and holds several prestigious fellowships. She has first class degrees in biology and environment from Oxford University.
For too long, conservation has been reactive. We protect what remains, but we don’t prevent loss before it happens.
Securing Tomorrow explores the tools and frameworks that could shift the narrative — from biodiversity credits to data-driven conservation strategies — and why time is running out to make them work.
Biodiversity loss isn’t just a distant crisis—it’s a present reality shaping our world today. At AiDASH, we believe that technology has the power to transform how we measure, monitor, and ultimately protect nature. This film is about more than just awareness—it’s about action. By combining cutting-edge data with real-world conservation efforts, we can bridge the gap between policy and practice and turn commitments into measurable impact.

Expert insights
Biodiversity is in a crisis at the moment. We need to protect it; but we need to be convinced that we need to protect it. We don'r have a moment to waste.
Dr Blanca Huertas
Biodiversity credits aren’t about offsetting impact, they’re about directing investments in nature projects for the sake of the investments and preserving and restoring biodiversity.
Dr Gareth Thomas
Achieving 30X30 has to be about more than just percentages. It has to be about protecting the right 30% in the right ways, and doing that fast enough.
