Why the Internet is both Nature’s New Blessing and Curse | Tanvi Dutta Gupta | TEDxYouth@SAS HD

We are members of an age dominated by the World Wide Web. Tanvi Dutta Gupta examines the impact our online presence has made on the Earth’s biodiversity, and argues the expanded role that we, as humans, can play in shaping it – and its future. Aside from writing about birds on her nature blog, Somewhere Up a Tree, she is regularly found in the depths of MacRitchie Reservoir examining wildlife and chasing after butterflies. Tanvi, although only fourteen, has had photographs featured on National Geographic and Project Noah, as well as receiving recognition from NParks and BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
