How effective is environmental restoration? On this episode, we seek answers to that question with Claire Wordley of Cambridge University, which has just debuted a much needed new project collecting the evidence, and examples of restoration from around the globe. We also speak with Becky Kessler, editor of Mongabay's ongoing series that examines how well a range of other conservation efforts work, about what this project has revealed.

Plus we round up the recent top environmental & conservation science news!
