Into The Wilderness with Byron Pace

We are sticking with the theme of climate change from two weeks ago, but turning our attention to a potential solution for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and it just so happens that this may also help rebuild the health of our soils. I speak with Professor David Beerling from the department of animal and plant science from the University of Sheffield about the use of basalt in agricultural production.

After our fascinating discussion last week with Dr Jason Goldman about sea otter reintroductions to the west coast of Canada, we are shifting from the marine environment to the terrestrial one, and from fauna to flora, and possibly the greatest threat and challenge of our time: climate change. Are trees always the answer for carbon sequestration? Dr Nina Friggins walks us through a new study which answers this question.

One wouldn't associate a high-end fashion photographer in New York with the world of hunting, fishing and wild food sourcing, but that is Danny Christensen, aka, The Urban Huntsman. This is such an insightful conversation chronicling an amazing life story. Why is a connection with nature the foundation of being human? We have that covered. Why should men cry more? We got that too. Dive in and lose yourself.

Today I talk with TV host and eco-journalist Sarah Roberts about her journey from studying animal behaviour to writing environmentally focused children's books and appearing on Blue Peter. We dive deep into the plastics in our oceans and the complex relationship between shark researchers and recreational fisherman. Somewhere in the middle of it Sarah also tells us about the time she was bitten by a shark. It's an awesome show and I had so much fun recording with Sarah.

In today's episode, we discuss how to protect the great apes from succumbing to the current SARS-CoV-2 virus and what that means for how we support the local, often very poor communities in and around these populations of primates. To help me understand this I spoke with Dr Fabian Leendertz, head of the Leendertz Lab. His team specialises in researching sources and reservoirs of microorganisms with zoonotic potential, particularly in central Africa. This makes him the perfect person to shed light on the situation. I recorded this a few weeks back, but as I release this interview today there is news that some reserves are planning on re-opening, allowing tourism around great apes to start again. We will hear in this show what risk is associated with that.
