The hidden links within ecosystems

Dr. Meghana is a faculty member at the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), where she studies how forest communities are shaped by species interactions, traits, and changing environments. With a passion for understanding how life stays connected, her research sheds light on the hidden systems that keep ecosystems and ultimately humans alive.

Forests aren’t just trees, they’re the system keeping us alive. From the smallest microbes to the largest mammals, every species is connected, including us.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into forests, life, and our future. From species interactions to human survival, this conversation connects the dots on why forests keep the planet alive and humans in the loop.

What happens if forests disappear?

The answer is closer to your life than you think.
