Nature is like a time capsule. The cyclical rhythm of healthy ecosystems can outlast entire civilisations.

This week on The Yarn, two environmental stories take us back to postwar Germany and prehistoric Australia. We hear how fragile ecosystems have stood the test of time — and what’s at stake if we lose them forever.  

These audio documentaries were originally produced by Thomas Phillips for Short Cuts, a Falling Tree production for BBC Radio 4. Follow the link below to hear more Short Cuts stories.
