Meet Shane Maddren, a Kaitiaki Ranger of Project Island Song in the Bay of Islands of Northland, New Zealand.

We discuss some of Shane's background, why he is so passionate about helping these beautiful islands, and his vision for sharing the beauty of nature with everyone he can.

We then talked about some of the amazing work that Project Island Song has done to restore the once desolate islands back to a flourishing cluster of ecosystems, rich with bird life and other incredible creatures.

Unfortunately I had a technology fault and the final 15 minutes or so of the conversation was lost. I am so incredibly sorry that Shane's wonderful insights were cut short. I will do better, and this will not happen again!

Thank you for listening.
