    Love the show. Have you looked at Peninsula Streams work here near Victoria BC? Stream and creek restoration seems to have far reaching effects. I’m curious if the Thames is getting some restoration attention?

  • Inspiring

    Just caught up with the interview with Tony Juniper. Full of positivity about nature restoration in the UK. I’m now a happier bunny than I was before I heard the podcast. Keeping the momentum going is the real challenge with so many awful distractions in the world. There are so many people thinking along the same lines, from all generations, I’ve never felt so encouraged after a lifetime in wildlife conservation education.
