Why attend
Watch a piece of BBC Media Action's work, a campaign to end discrimination against nature’s saviours in India.
Session Description
Across the world, waste pickers play a vital yet overlooked role in conservation and circular economy. In Bengaluru, India's Silicon Valley, BBC Media Action’s Invaluable campaign brought visibility and dignity to the ’saviours of nature’ who recycle 383 million kilos of solid waste every year, diverting it from landfills. Watch our film about how this was done, before hearing from Soma Katiyar, Executive Creative Director, BBC Media Action.
