Well, we made it. The last episode of Into The Wild for 2021. 12 months, 50 episodes & almost 30,000 downloads. A massive thank you to everyone who listens, shares & sends love.

It's always tough to decide what to talk about for the last episode of the year, but after a quick think of what some of the main nature topics have been this year, I suddenly thought, community based conservation. It's something that has, rightfully, been pushed forward as a priority & spoken about a lot when working with nature so why not end the year of that.

For this I asked wildlife presenter & marine photographer Madison Bowden Parry (aka Madison Wildlife) to join me for a chat. Starting with her love of photographing the marine world we then lead on to chatting about why involving a community can help strengthen the success of a wildlife conservation project.
