What can nature teach us about living together?

Join award-winning science communicator Sophie Pavelle as she presents her newest work To Have or To Hold, a thrilling exploration of symbiosis in the natural world that reveals both beauty and darkness in equal measure.

Species living together in symbiosis is no accident – these dynamics evolved. Species form and sever alliances everywhere, from deep within temperate rainforests to the open ocean, quiet tidal pools or chalk grasslands, and nature thrives on relationships as glamorous as they are grotesque and as bizarre as they are engrossing.

Interviewed by journalist and author Nell Frizzell, they will examine eight remarkable symbiotic relationships struggling to survive our climate and biodiversity crises, to investigate what these bonds can teach us about living together. They ask crucial questions including: In our relationship with the natural world, are we the parasites? Will we continue to exploit nature's resources, or can we forge a more restorative bond with what remains?

Discover how the future of our planet depends on these delicate, powerful relationships that bind all things together.
