The League has launched a new campaign in which we're calling for all National Parks to end hunting for good.

In this episode, Emma chats to John Petrie, senior regional campaigns manager for the League to hear all about the new campaign and what you can do to help.

In the first of our special edition series, Megan explains why the next generation should be empowered to do more, and  tells Emma about a volunteering project she went on that changed her perspective on everything.
