Land Ownership, Traditional Conservation and Declining Biodiversity

This was a powerful interview with Nadia Shaik, who is a naturalist, conservationist and land justice activist working with Right to Roam.

Nadia has worked in Land Policy for the RSPB for over 10 years and is now addressing addressing issues of decolonising the sector.

In this episode we discuss:

• The importance of valuing and protecting nature with the same passion we have for our National Health System.
• The Right to Roam and the disheartening truth that merely 8% of England's land is available to the public.
• How limited access to nature contributes to decreasing biodiversity.
• The State of Nature: https://stateofnature.org.uk/
• The persistent threat of pesticides that harm insects and contaminate our land.
• The need to decolonize the nature conservation sector.
• Embracing injustice as a catalyst for reflecting on our own grief.
