    Concrete Jungles, Living Habitats

    Special Guest: Shah Nawaz Jelil, Project Consultant at Arcadis How do we make room for wildness in our ever-growing cities? In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the delicate—and sometimes fraught—balance between urban development and ecological sustainability. Joining us is Shah Nawaz Jelil, a seasoned expert in environmental planning and conservation as well as an author. Currently a Project Consultant at Arcadis in Bengaluru, Shah Nawaz brings a unique perspective shaped by his PhD research and his time as a Project Fellow at the Wildlife Institute of India. With deep insights into sustainability, climate change, and urban ecology, he helps us reimagine cities not just as spaces for people, but as shared habitats. Together, we unpack critical themes like: ​The importance of urban wildlife conservation ​How climate change reshapes local ecosystems ​Technology’s growing role in environmental stewardship ​The deep link between human health and access to nature ​What sustainable living looks like in the age of rapid urbanisation ​And how we can inspire the next generation of conservation leaders Whether you’re a city dweller, an environmentalist, or just someone curious about the future of our planet, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to see urban spaces in a whole new light.
