In Your Nature Ep 57 - Farming For Nature (Handbook)
Q: Would it be safe to say in your opinion that the environment and nature in this country is beat without the help of farmers?

In Your Nature Ep 57 - Farming For Nature (Handbook)
Q: Were you a farmer or a conservationist first?
I don't actually come from a farming background, but I did grow up in rural Ireland, and it's impossible not to have a lot of experience with farming.
In Your Nature Ep 58 - Biodiversity with Éanna Ní Lamhna
Q: Do you believe the humble hedgehog would ever be under pressure?
Actually, hedgehogs can be an invasive species and have been historically misrepresented, illustrating the complexity of wildlife management.
In Your Nature Ep 58 - Biodiversity with Éanna Ní Lamhna
Q: What would you do if you had a blank check for biodiversity?
