Caroline Lucas gives the 3rd Lancaster Environment Lecture (a collaboration between Lancaster Litfest & Lancaster University), asking the key question: 'As a nation that prides itself on its love of nature, why is it that we have become one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world?'

Wonderful to see a packed lecture theatre for Caroline Lucas' Lancaster Environment Lecture last night - such a moving and inspiring talk! @litfest
