A podcast about the vulnerable wildlife in Britain. Wildlife across the world is facing threats, and whilst we all want to protect some of our favourite, charismatic species like polar bears and rhinos, it’s easy to forget the animals we have right on our doorstep. So, this podcast aims to shine a light on the fantastic species that live right here in the UK, because as a wise man once told me, to save the world, you must first understand what’s on it.

    Stag Beetles and Societal Collapse with Lucy Lapwing

    It's episode three of Our Threatened Species! A podcast where we talk about the vulnerable wildlife in Britain with the help from our expert guests. Today we talk to Lucy Hodson, or Lucy Lapwing as she's known on social media. Lucy is a conservationist and naturalist, and we were lucky enough to pick her brain of all her stag beetle knowledge (as well as her knowledge of other beetles, insects and the environment). She's a wonderful guest and we loved chatting to her, we hope you enjoy listening to it just as much! @lucy_lapwing @our_threatened_species

    Hedgehogs with Hugh Warwick

    Our first episode! Welcome to Our Threatened Species, a podcast about the vulnerable wildlife in Britain. Wildlife across the world is facing threats, and whilst we all want to protect some of our favourite species like polar bears and rhinos, it’s easy to forget the animals we have right on our doorstep. So, this podcast aims to shine a light on the fantastic species that live right here in the UK, because as a wise man once told me, that to save the world, you must first understand what’s on it. Today we speak to Hugh Warwick, the spokesperson for the British Hedgehog Preservation Society, ecologist, writer, and the worlds only hedgehog stand up comedian (well.. comedy about hedgehogs, he isn’t a hedgehog himself ). He has written 5 fantastic books, and runs courses on hedgehog conservation. We thought he would be the perfect person to talk to us and teach us about the wonderful prickly species that are hedgehogs!  Follow us on twitter and Instagram @Our_Threatened_Species to get in touch and to ask your questions. - Kat and Sam
