Into The Wild Ryan Dalton & Nadia Shaikh

A quick mid month treat for you nerds with a bonus episode of your favourite nature & conservation podcast!
Knepp Estate is famous in the UK for showing how an intensive dairy farm can go from an empty landscape to a rich haven for wildlife & it's a location we have focused on before when we spoke with the head ecologist of Knepp, Penny Green (episode here).
This time I got to speak with Knepp Estates owner & author Isabella Tree. Not only did we discuss the journey of Knepp but we spoke about the new upcoming film that would show the entire story.
Wilding out June 14th

Throughout history, humans, especially those of the western world, have intentionally & unintentionally introduced species around the world where they may have never reached before & as a result, negative consequences have occurred. BUT, the big questions that we often avoid is, should we actually now be intervening again to try to remove the issues that have been created. Is lethal control of mammals, fish, reptiles, insects, birds & plants really the only option? And how do we feel about this?
On this episode we explore this very topic & aim to have an honest discussion about how we feel about killing for conservation, whether or not the science tells us one way or another.
Guest appearances from Hugh Warwick, Prof Sierian Sumner & Leif Bersweden

Six months ago Into The Wild attended the Whitley Fund for Nature's People for Planet Summit in London. An event where guest speakers around the world met to discuss big topics in community based wildlife conservation. At this event we were lucky enough to meet & speak with 2015 Whitley Fund for Nature Award Winner, Jean Wiener from Haiti.
This bonus episode is that very chat where Jean shares his experience of working with people & wildlife in a country like Haiti & what he feels is the best way forward to restore the natural resources for the planet, country & it's communities.

Grab your buckets, your spades & your towel nerds because we are heading to the coast in search of some answers about how our seas & coastal areas around the UK are protected.
Just how do marine protected areas work around the UK & are they doing their job? These are big questions but in this episode we guide you through the acronym maze that is UK ocean conservation.

One of, if not the most, tranquil places many of us can imagine being is on the bank of a river. The sound of the water moving & the visual of the ripples or crashing of water speeding past. They ground us & are essential to life so we must be looking after them in the UK right?.......RIGHT?
For episode 1 of season 2 we are looking at the state of rivers in the UK. From how insects can be important indicators for determining river health, to the hard hitting truth about what we are dumping in these magnificent habitats.
Guest appearances from Emma Brisdion (River Trust), Rebecca Lewis (Bug Life) & Craig MacAdam (Bug Life).

GRAB YOUR THERMALS NERDS, IT'S TIME TO TALK ABOUT WINTER!!
If we ask ourselves honestly, winter is the season that can feel like it holds the most barriers up when it comes to us getting out & connecting with nature but is it really that hard? Can we still see wildlife in the cold frosty months?
On this bonus episode Ryan & Nadia speak with the London Wildlife Trust to explore just how much there is to see in this often dreaded season & what it can do to support our health, both mentally & physically.
Guest appearances from Chantelle Lindsay, Pete Salter & Beth Collier.
