Voices of the Greenbelt Ep 2: Biodiversity in the Greenbelt with Deborah McGregor

In the second part of our five-episode podcast series, The Voices of the Greenbelt, we’re joined by special guest Deborah McGregor in discussing biodiversity within what is currently Ontario’s Greenbelt. Throughout the episode, we discuss species living in the Greenbelt, their endangerment status and threats to their survival, and how we as humans benefit from the biodiversity the region provides.

Deborah McGregor is a First Nations Indigenous Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Environmental Justice at York University. Her research has focused on Indigenous knowledge and legal systems and their various applications in diverse contexts including water and environmental governance, environmental and climate justice, health and environment and sustainability.
