Rewilding the World with Ben Goldsmith

Diving into New York’s Billion Oyster Project with Katie Mosher


Listen Later

"Oyster reefs do this really special thing; they become a refuge for finfish species, for crabs, for all types of really important species and so it's really critical for all of those species to interact together and oyster reefs make that habitat."   

New York’s Billion Oyster Project is one of the most exciting urban rewilding projects ever. In this episode of Rewilding the World, Ben talks to Katie Mosher about the once vast abundance of oysters in New York and along the whole East Coast of America, the vital ecological role they play, and about plans for restoring them – starting in the middle of New York city. 

Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast. Join him as he speaks to people from all over the world who champion nature and are helping to restore habitats and wildlife to some of the most nature depleted parts of our planet.
