Each episode of Field Notes concludes with our guest sharing practices they have adopted in pursuit of a life lived hopefully and in a departure from our usual format, Rick and Jo revisit some of their favourites. Listen and be inspired by the creative, profound and wise ways conservationists around the world embody hope in their daily lives.

    Ep 56: Thomas Chhoa – Plastic pollution to possibility

    Plastic has a rather dirty reputation these days. There are few places on land or underwater where you won’t find discarded plastic waste causing harm and havoc. Thomas Chhoa has spent his life in the petro-chemical industry creating plastic, and he still believes this is a wonder-material and overall a force for good in the world. Now a Senior Advisor with the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, he is working at the highest levels to develop a circular plastics economy, and argues we need to return to the principles of reduce, reuse, recycle - on steroids. Thomas is a man of deep faith, moral fibre and intelligence and his message is both realistically sober and hopeful.

    Ep 55: Peter Harris – Why does nature matter?

    Peter Harris founded A Rocha in the early 1980s and has given his life since to the cause of nature conservation. He has long known the vital importance of the question of how and why to value nature. In this conversation with Rick and Jo (his daughter!) he explores the different explanations he has encountered for the worth of the non-human world and why he believes money lies at the heart of it all.

    Ep 54: Verónica Godoy - Battling Bull Creek's invasive species

    Verónica is a transplant to the USA from Argentina. As a plant molecular and cellular biologist and a plant lover, she soon began getting to know the fora of her new home, discovering the extent to which native plants were suffering as invasives flourished. As Texas Conservation Project Director for A Rocha USA, she now spends much of her time killing Glossy Privet in many ingenious ways, and as a result the Bull Creek Watershed is full of diverse life again. We talked to her about the nitty gritty of caring for an ecosystem, how she has been reengaging the local hispanic community with the great outdoors and what it took to put down roots in new soil.

    Ep 52: Jasmine Kwong – Food, faith and a flourishing world

    There is little in life with more direct environmental impact than food - how and what we produce, where we source it and how it gets there, how we prepare it and what we do with the waste. How do we balance sometimes competing factors and make food choices that honour God and the world he loves and has tasked us to look after? Food is a passion for Jasmine Kwong. As a creation care advocate for OMF International and a Catalyst for Creation Care for the Lausanne Movement, she also cares deeply about creation. In this engaging and grace-filled conversation she shares from the wisdom she has gleaned and encourages all of us to consider our daily bread (and fish ceviche, mango and so on!) in light of our relationship with God and the wider creation.

    Ep 51: Jayaprakash Bojan – Up close with an Orangutang and his maker

    Jayaprakash Bojan (JP)’s photo of a giant male orangutang peeping at him from behind a tree in a Borneo river won him National Geographic’s Nature Photographer of the Year in 2017. The image was seen by over 3.5 million people, propelling both him and the plight of Red Apes into the spotlight. In this conversation with A Rocha co founder Peter Harris and Jo Swinney, JP talks publicly for the first time about his burgeoning faith in the Creator of All, the values that underpin his approach to nature photography and where his career has gone after everything changed with the National Geographic award. JP lives in Singapore with his wife and their child. You can find him and see some of his incredible photography and film work on social media: Instagram - @Jayaprakash_bojan, Facebook – Jayaprakash Bojan photography, LinkedIn – Jayaprakash Bojan

    Ep 50: Jeremy Lindsell – Lessons in conservation

    While the outlook for biodiversity is rather bleak, all the evidence says conservation works - we just need to do it well and do it more. It sounds simple, but often well-intended interventions have unintended consequences, or aren’t very effective, or become unmanageable over time. How do we learn the important lessons, what does success mean in this context, and how does someone in Jeremy’s line of work remain hopeful? Jeremy Lindsell has been working on globally threatened species and tropical forest conservation for over 20 years, latterly as A Rocha International’s Director of Conservation & Science. He has been closely involved with A Rocha’s major campaign to protect the Atewa Forest in Ghana, leading field research in the forest, supervising studies, raising funds and building an international coalition to support the conservation of this highly distinctive forest.
