How to combat plant blindness

From Afternoons, 1:20 pm on 28 June 2022

Now we're looking at improving conservation by combating plant blindness.

We're not talking about plants' eyesight, but about how people tend to ignore plants, which can be harmful to the efforts of plant conservation.

Dr Jason Low is an Associate Professor in Psychology at Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington, and is here to talk to us about about this psychological occurrence.
