In this bonus episode of the Ecosia podcast, we chat to Shane McMillan, the journalist, photographer and videographer who has been helping us document our reforestation projects for many years. We talk about the half moon-shaped seedbeds that villagers are digging in Burkina Faso; we talk about how to build a future by reaching back into the past; and we talk about our favourite person, a coffee farmer from Ethiopia called Almaz.

On this episode of the Ecosia podcast, we talk to Jonathan Watts, the Global Environment editor at the Guardian. For years, he has travelled from the Coral Triangle to the Ugandan savanna to report on activists who are risking their lives to defend forests, rivers, coastlines and wildlife.

What do our planting projects sound like? How many tree updates can our Tree Planting Officer Pieter squeeze into one phone call? And what are the strangest ‘Climate Change is a hoax’ theories on the internet?

We want to try and answer all of these questions. And what’s the best format for that? A podcast! From now on, you can get in-depth updates from our projects, the Ecosia team’s views on climate related news and expert opinions from interesting people in sustainability. All in our new Ecosia Podcast.
