Podcast host Chris Smith shares a personal story about nature connection and looks at the value of nature for mental health and wellbeing.

Rewilding in the Apennines Pt 3

In this episode we dive a little deeper into the challenges of Rewilding in Italy. Podcast host Chris Smith interviews Rewilding Apennines team members Fabrizio Cordeschei and Ilaria Goria and discusses issues of human-wildlife coexistence and finds out more about the work of the organisation.

In this Episode we go in search of the the Marsican Brown Bear. We will learn about the lives and ecology of this rare sub species of Grizzly Bear, go walking in the Selva Moricento (a UNESCO world heritage forest) and explore what it feels like to be out there alone, deep in Bear country!
