Our guest this week is Richard Smyth, author, crossword designer, cartoonist - and father of two young children Richard writes features, reviews and comment pieces for publications including The Guardian, The Times LiterarySupplement, The New Statesman, and New Scientist. His crosswords – both cryptic and quiz – appear regularly in New Scientist, History Today, and BBC Wildlife. He's part of the team that sets questions for BBC Mastermind, and he's a cartoonist: Private Eye, New Humanist and Claims magazines have all featured his work. He's the author of five non-fiction books of which the latest is The Jay, the Beech and the Limpetshell which is one of those captivating works that is both memoir and eulogy of a dying world. It brings together Richard's passionate love of the natural world with his care for his two young children. It's a captivating read that shuttles back and forth along the time lines, weaving Twitter comments from 'Average Dad' with items from the memoirs of old Victorian naturalists who tasted bird's eggs and considerations of how we help the generations that come after us to fall in love with a world that is going to be so, so different from when we were young - however old you are now, whatever your memories. So this is one or our more reflective, peaceful, contemplative podcasts, a paean to the worlds of our youth and a hope for the future.  Enjoy!Richard's Website Richards books at Hive

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast, produced by Homelands Advisory, your independent migration agency. In case this is your first time tuning in, we spotlight projects, research and stories related to people on-the-move. Today, we've got a heavyweight of the migration world, Rob McNeil from the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford, on the show to get his take on contemporary public debate on migration. About Rob Rob is the Deputy Director and Head of Media and Communications at the Migration Observatory, where he leads on public relations strategy, parliamentary and community outreach and news and commentary work. Rob was actually part of the team who launched the Observatory in 2011 and, since then, has been working to embed its analysis in public debates. Rob also participates in Oxford University and the Centre on Migration, Policy and Society's (COMPAS) research projects, examining the social environments from which news stories and narratives about migration and migrants emerge, how media debate affects migration policy decisions (and vice versa), and how information gaps affect how these issues are discussed. Rob is a former journalist and previously served as Media Director for the US environmental organisation Conservation International, PR manager for Oxfam GB, Senior Press Officer for WWF-UK, and as a journalist for the Evening Standard, The Daily Mirror, Time Out and BBC Wildlife, among other publications. What we talk about That's quite the track record. In today's far-reaching, perhaps meandering, interview, I learn from Rob's extensive media and academic experience studying migration narratives and debates, especially in the UK and Europe (though parallelling discourse in many other countries). We discuss the nature of these migration debates and, in particular, which factors seem to lead to more balanced and less toxic debates on migration. I'm sure you'll agree this is a very timely conversation.  I thoroughly enjoyed having Rob on the show because he not only speaks from his eminent position at the Observatory, but also draws from his experience working on different topics in different countries. I'd like to thank Rob for coming on the show and thank you for listening. And without further ado, please sit back and enjoy the episode.

5x15 is delighted to welcome two best-selling and award-winning authors back to our virtual stage. This time, Lucy Jones and Amy Liptrot will be in conversation about Jones's highly anticipated new book MATRESCENCE: On the Metamorphosis of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Early Motherhood. Other than adolescence, there is no other time in a human's life course that entails such dramatic change than pregnancy, childbirth and early motherhood. So why has this transformation been so neglected by science, medicine and philosophy, and gone largely unrepresented across literature and the arts? Lucy Jones's new book is a groundbreaking, deeply personal investigation into the emerging concept of 'matrescence', and an urgent examination of the modern institution of motherhood. Join us for an inspiring conversation between Lucy Jones and Amy Liptrot, author of The Outrun and The Instant. They will be discussing important questions around motherhood and femininity; interdependence and individual identity; as well as our relationships with each other and the living world. Praise for Lucy Jones and MATRESCENCE 'A beautiful contemplation of the extraordinary yet ordinary metamorphosis that adult humans undergo as they become mothers ... I was entranced ... Matrescence is a passionate and powerful maternal roar for change' - GAIA VINCE 'Hypnotic, fascinating and long overdue. I am so glad it exists. A gift of a book and told beautifully.' - LAURA DOCKRILL 'A beautiful, intelligent book that is as tender and moving as it is demanding and urgent. There is something insightful and original in the way Lucy Jones seamlessly combines the analytical with the emotional, and it is an absolutely essential new addition to the literature of mothering and parenthood.' - CLOVER STROUD Lucy Jones is a writer and journalist based in Hampshire, England. She previously worked at NME and the Daily Telegraph, and her writing on culture, science and nature has been published in GQ, BBC Wildlife, The Sunday Times, the Guardian and the New Statesman. Her bestselling book Losing Eden was a Times and Telegraph book of the year in 2020. Amy Liptrot is the author of Sunday Times bestsellers The Outrun and The Instant, which was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing. She writes columns and reviews for various magazines and newspapers including the Guardian and the Spectator, and recently presented Motherhood in Owl Woods: A Landscape for Recovery for BBC Radio 3.

La journée mondiale du Lynx est célébrée chaque année, le 11 juin. Il reste moins de 200 Lynx en France. Le plus grand félin européen reste au bord de l'extinction, à cause de 3 facteurs : la faible diversité génétique les accidents de la route le braconnage _______ Ces épisodes sont des rediffusions de 4 des 72 mini-interviews réalisée au Festival Photo Montier de Montier 2022, qui célèbrait ses 25 ans. Tous les épisodes sont disponibles grâce aux liens de ce document.  _______ Laurent Geslin est cinéaste et photographe animalier. Il est le réalisateur de Lynx (2021). Enfant, chez sa grand-mère en Bretagne, Laurent s'échappait la nuit par le vasistas. Direction: les champs, la forêt, pour débusquer les animaux. Avant de se passionner pour ce prédateur, Laurent fut guide naturaliste sur l'Ile-Grande et l'Ile-Dieu, en Bretagne, puis en Afrique du Sud et en Namibie avant de s'installer à Londres … dans un saut avec des copains un peu schlags. Il devient photographe prol. Il y fait notamment du safari urbain, des photos de la faune des villes : Renard, Écureuil, Héron cendré, Faucon… Le reportage animalier fait de lui un glove-trotter : Brésil, Éthiopie, Afrique asutrale. Il publie le livre Safari urbain, puis des reportages dans le Daily Mail, BBC Wildlife, Paris Match, National Geographic, Terre Sauvage ...

Claudia discusses wonder with Jules Howard, author of the book Wonderdog. Using his book a backdrop, they discuss how dogs have influenced (and been influenced) by science.

In the years leading up to the Second World War, the U.S. was represented in Japan by Ambassador Joseph Grew: born from a patrician family, Harvard-educated, ran away to the foreign service, and deeply respected by his fellow diplomats and Japanese politicians alike. From his arrival in Tokyo in 1932 to when he was eventually repatriated back to the US in 1942, after Pearl Harbor, Grew dutifully reported to and advised the U.S. on what to do with an increasingly imperialist, militarist—and, at many times—dysfunctional Japan. And if officials had listened to Grew, as Steve Kemper tells it in his book Our Man In Tokyo: An American Ambassador and the Countdown to Pearl Harbor (Marine Books, 2022), the history of US-Japan relations may have looked very different. In this interview, Steve and I talk about Joseph Grew, his time in Japan, and how U.S. obstinance, and Japanese imperialism, militarism and dysfunction, got in the way of his diplomacy. Steve Kemper is a journalist and the author of A Labyrinth of Kingdoms: 10,000 Miles through Islamic Africa (W. W. Norton & Company: 2012), A Splendid Savage: The Restless Life of Frederick Russell Burnham (W. W. Norton & Company: 2016), and Code Name Ginger (Harvard Business Review Press: 2003). He has written for Smithsonian, National Geographic, Outside, Wall Street Journal, BBC Wildlife, and many other magazines and newspapers.

Links from the show:* Our Man in Tokyo: An American Ambassador and the Countdown to Pearl Harbor* Connect with SteveAbout my guest:In November 2022, Mariner Books (HarperCollins) published my new book, Our Man in Tokyo: An American Ambassador and the Countdown to Pearl Harbor. It's a behind-the-scenes narrative about the volatile lead-up to the war with Japan, told from the perspective of the American who knew that country best at the time—Joseph C. Grew, the United States ambassador from 1932 to 1942. In 2019 the National Endowment for the Humanities gave me a grant through its Public Scholar Program to support the research and writing.My previous book, A Splendid Savage: the Restless Life of Frederick Russell Burnham (W. W. Norton, 2016), is the biography of a man once world-famous as "the American scout." Before that, I wrote A Labyrinth of Kingdoms: 10,000 Miles Through Islamic Africa (W. W. Norton, 2012), about Heinrich Barth, one of Africa's greatest explorers yet nearly forgotten today. The book is a nonfiction historical adventure that recreates Barth's incredible five-year, 10,000 mile journey in the 1850s. The Boston Globe named Labyrinth one of the best nonfiction books of 2012.My first book, Code Name Ginger: the Story Behind Segway and Dean Kamen's Quest to Invent a New World (Harvard Business School Press, 2003), was selected by Barnes & Noble for its Discover Great New Writers award.

In today's episode I'm chatting with Annie Moir, a marine biologist, wildlife filmmaker and impact producer at the BBC. We briefly worked together on a biodiversity project before both moving on to other things - but we stayed in touch and she was one of the first people that came to mind when I started planning this podcast.We spoke about noise pollution in the oceans, how human activity is affecting whales and all other marine animals, and what we could do to reduce that impact. One of my favourite moments was when she said she suggested to a big supermarket chain they might review their entire shipping process to avoid whale migration routes. We also touched on the importance of starting a conversation, and how different approaches to how we tell these stories are needed to reach as many people as possible.Want to dive deeper?Watch A Voice Above Nature, Annie's documentary on noise pollution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ505SSIkHoStart a conversation - tell someone about what you learned in today's episodeConsider the impact of your travel and holidays, maybe avoid ferries and cruises if you can!Consider how we could go back to living in harmony with the natural world, and remember that there are no straight lines in natureAnnie's recommendationsMountains of the mind - Robert Macfarlane https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/robert-macfarlane-y/mountains-of-the-mind/9781783784509Period Power - Maisie Hill https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/maisie-hill/period-power/9781472963611Little linksAnnie on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/annieemoir/Why We Care on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/whywecarepodcast/Tiphaine on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tiphainemarie_/If you enjoyed the episode and want to help the podcast, I would be super grateful if you could leave a little review or share it with a friend who might like it.Thank you for caring and sending you lots of love!

La primera vez que me senté ante sus imágenes lo hice convencido de que la fotografía de naturaleza no me gustaba, que, de hecho, ni siquiera me interesaba. Tras solo unos minutos admirando lo que es capaz de traerse de la selva más recóndita y de escuchar la pasión con la que habla de lo que fotografía mi opinión cambió por completo. Sus imágenes son el resultado de combinar un profundo conocimiento y un enorme amor por los animales… A lo que se suma una enorme dosis de trabajo y dedicación. Hoy, en Calle Oscura, Javier Aznar. En este episodio hablamos de - Aficiones heredadas. - Profesionalizar una pasión. - La selva. - Los peligros del mundo “civilizado”. - Constancia y suerte. - Arriesgar. - Compatibilizar encargos y proyectos propios. - Conservar la riqueza natural. - Prejuicios y desconocimiento. - Conocer para preservar. Y de muchas otras cosas que salieron al paso. Quién nos acompaña Javier nace en Madrid en 1989 y guiado por su amor por los animales cursa estudios de biología en la complutense. Como fotógrafo contribuye habitualmente en medios como National Geographic Magazine o BBC Wildlife y desde hace casi una década su trabajo es reconocido nacional e internacionalmente con premios como el Memorial María Luisa y el Wildlife Photographer of the Year. Es miembro de The Photo Society y de la iLCP, la Liga Internacional de Fotógrafos Conservacionistas y usa la fotografía con el objetivo de sensibilizar sobre la necesidad de conservar la inmensa riqueza natural del mundo, mostrando de cerca, muy de cerca, animales de todos los tamaños que dependen de un equilibrio muy delicado.

Join 5x15 for a thrilling investigation into whale science and animal communication with Tom Mustill, author of the ground-breaking new book How to Speak Whale and Lucy Jones author of Losing Eden. How could breakthroughs in science change our relationship with animals forever? In 2015, wildlife filmmaker Tom Mustill was whale watching when a humpback breached onto his kayak and nearly killed him. After a VIDEO CLIP of the event went viral, Tom found himself inundated with theories about what happened. He became obsessed with trying to find out what the whale had been thinking and sometimes wished he could just ask it. In the process of making a film about his experience, he discovered that might not be such a crazy idea. In this special event, Tom tell's the story of the pioneers in a new age of discovery, whose cutting-edge developments in natural science and technology are taking us to the brink of decoding animal communication – and whales, with their giant mammalian brains and sophisticated vocalisations, offer one of the most realistic opportunities for us to do so. Using ‘underwater ears,' robotic fish, big data and machine intelligence, leading scientists and tech-entrepreneurs across the world are working to turn the fantasy of Dr Dolittle into a reality, upending much of what we know about these mysterious creatures. But what would it mean if we were to make contact? And with climate change threatening ever more species with extinction, would doing so alter our approach to the natural world? Enormously original and hugely entertaining, How to Speak Whale is an unforgettable look at how close we truly are to communicating with another species – and how doing so might change our world beyond recognition. Tom Mustill is a biologist turned filmmaker and writer, specializing in stories where people and nature meet. His film collaborations, many with Greta Thunberg and David Attenborough, have received numerous international awards, including two Webbys, a BAFTA, and an Emmy nomination. They have been played at the UN and COP 26, and been shared by heads of state, the World Health Organization, and Guns N' Roses. He lives in London with his wife Annie, daughter Stella and the inhabitants of his small but surprisingly deep pond. Lucy Jones is a writer and journalist based in Hampshire, England. She previously worked at NME and the Daily Telegraph, and her writing on culture, science and nature has been published in BBC Earth, BBC Wildlife, The Sunday Times, the Guardian and the New Statesman. Her first book, Foxes Unearthed, was celebrated for its 'brave, bold and honest' (Chris Packham) account of our relationship with the fox. Losing Eden took Jones from forest schools in East London to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault via primeval woodlands, Californian laboratories and ecotherapists' couches. Praise for How To Speak Whale ‘We rarely pause to consider what animals think or feel, or question whether their inner lives resemble our own. Tom Mustill's fascinating and deeply humane book shows us why we must do so – and what we, and the planet, could stand to gain by it' Greta Thunberg ‘A rich, fascinating, brilliant book that opens our eyes and ears to worlds we can scarcely imagine' George Monbiot, Sunday Times bestselling author of Regenesis 'Scary, important and brilliant' Philip Hoare, author of Leviathan 'Extraordinary' Christiana Figueres, former executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and co-author of The Future We Choose With thanks for your support for 5x15 online.

Was geht eigentlich tief unter uns so ab? Tiefseefotograf und -forscher Solvin Zankl ist für uns abgetaucht und zeigt uns faszinierende Tiefseewesen. Er ist seit 1998 hauptberuflich als Naturfotograf tätig. Seine Fotografien erscheinen regelmäßig in international führenden Magazinen wie GEO, Stern, National Geographic, Natural History Magazine und BBC Wildlife. Als Biologe gelingt es ihm, in seine Fotografien neben dem Sinn für Ästhetik einen wissenschaftlichen Hintergrund einfließen zu lassen. In seinem heutigen Gespräch mit Timm Kruse erzählt Solvin Zankl, auf welche Weise ihn die Tiefsee immer wieder neu fasziniert. In seinen Tauchgängen und auf Forschungsreisen sind immer wieder neue Tiere dabei, da sie so selten im Meer sind. Er weiß, „manche wirst du nur ein einziges Mal sehen“. Über die Tiefsee weiß der Mensch am wenigsten, da sie einfach riesengroß ist und schwer zu erforschen. Schließlich „können wir nicht einfach hingehen“. Und dennoch ist die Tiefsee der größte Lebensraum, wo Leben möglich ist. 70 Prozent der Erde sind von Wasser bedeckt und das ist durchschnittlich 3,8 Kilometer tief. Solvin Zankl ist immerhin schon 500 Meter tief gewesen und erzählt uns von einem Tauchgang: warum man sich erst wie in einer Waschmaschine fühlt und ab wann das Sonnenlicht dann endgültig „weg“ ist. Wie beeindruckend es dann tief unten ist, versucht der Fotograf – soweit möglich - in seinen Fotografien festzuhalten: Manche Tiere leuchten, manch ein Lebewesen ist komplett durchsichtig, manche haben große Augen, andere gar keine Augen. In den Fotos kommt das Leuchten zum Ausdruck durch das helle oder farbige Wesen, das stets auf schwarzem Hintergrund erscheint. Die Wesen, die meist nicht größer als 30cm sind, erinnern mal an eine Blume und mal sehen sie aus wie kleine Monster. Ein freundliches, farbiges Tiefseewesen ziert das Deckblatt des Kalender Tiefseewesen 2023. Solvin Zankl erzählt uns natürlich, wo er sie fotografiert hat bzw. wo sie lebt, wie sie heißt und ob sie leuchten kann.

eit einigen Wochen und Tagen trage ich mich mit dem Gedanken, mir ein Fernglas anzuschaffen. Natürlich nicht, um das Leben der Nachbarn in Augenschein zu nehmen. Vielmehr fasziniert mich auf meinen Radtouren oder auch Wanderungen seit einiger Zeit die heimische Vogelwelt. Was es da alles zu entdecken gibt. Formen und Farben in den unterschiedlichsten Größen. Und nicht zu vergessen – dieser Schatz aus Stimmen! In seinem Buch „In 80 Vögeln um die Welt“ nimmt der Brite Mike Unwin die Leser mit auf eine zweifache Reise – in die Vogelwelt unseres Planeten und einmal um unseren Erdball. … Mike Unwin ist preisgekrönter Autor naturkundlicher Bücher für Erwachsene und Kinder. Er schreibt für The Daily Telegraph, The Times, BBC Wildlife, Travel Africa sowie für den RSPB und den WWF. Als Fotograf haben ihn seine Reisen auf der Suche nach Vögeln und anderen Wildtieren auf alle Kontinente geführt. Ryuto Miyake ist Illustrator und Grafikdesigner mit einem besonderen Interesse an der Natur und einem besonderen Zeichenstil. Er lebt in Tokio. Constanze Matthes, ich bin Journalistin und leidenschaftliche Leserin. Die Liebe zu den Büchern begann im zarten Alter von vier, fünf Jahren, als meine Mutter mich zum ersten Mal in die kleine Bücherei unseres Dorfes mitnahm. Wenige Jahre später schleppte ich die Bücher dann stapelweise allein nach Hause. In der Schule las ich stets die Pflichtlektüre und war meinen Mitschülern ein gern gesehener Gesprächspartner, um den Inhalt des zu lesenden Buches in der Pause vor der Deutschstunde zu erzählen. Sollte man an dieser Stelle „verraten“ sagen? Nach dem Abitur und einem Auslandsaufenthalt in Norwegen studierte ich im Hauptfach Germanistik mit Schwerpunkt Literaturwissenschaft. Allerdings las ich dann nicht immer die Pflichtlektüre der mehrseitigen Lektüreliste und besuchte viel eher die wunderbare Bibliothek des Deutschen Literaturinstituts. Vor allem dann, wenn meine Mitbewohnerin den Koffer-Fernseher über das Wochenende wieder nach Hause mitnahm. Noch heute bin ich „fernseherlos“ und investiere vielmehr meine Zeit in große und kleine Geschichten, dicke und dünne Bücher.

My guest this week is naturalist, conservationist and writer Benedict Macdonald. Benedict has recently released a new book ‘Cornerstones', which talks about how by restoring cornerstone species we can help turn around the current impoverished state of nature in the UK. His previous book ‘Rebirding' was how I first came to know of his work and I've been a great admirer of his work ever since. We talk about the numbers of UK birds, how land management needs to change in order to stop the loss of species in this country and what we can do at a garden level to make changes. Dr Ian Bedford's Bug of the Week: Box tree moth What we cover - Do we waste money propping up untenably small populations of threatened species in isolated areas? - Bird species that are the ‘walking dead' in Britain - Achieving cooperation between individual land owners to create the large scale and connected habitats that are needed to sustain populations - Adopting a build it and they will come approach -  Are we wasting our time trying to make a difference at the garden scale? If not, what can we do to make a difference?  - Some of the problems mentioned in Rebirding are directly related to the EUs common agricultural policy. How could this change given Brexit? - Ecotourism About Benedict Macdonald Benedict Macdonald is a conservation writer, field director in wildlife television, and a keen naturalist. He is passionate about restoring Britain's wildlife, pelicans included, in his lifetime.  During his extensive global travel experience, Benedict has found inspiring examples of why desecrating our country's ecosystems is both entirely avoidable and against the national interest. This book is his attempt to ensure that this generation, for the first time in thousands of years, leaves Britain's wildlife better off, not worse, than the generation before – for wildlife and people alike. Benedict is a long-time writer for Birdwatching magazine, as well as a contributor to the RSPB Nature's Home and BBC Wildlife. He has been fortunate to work on TV series for the BBC and Netflix - most notably the grasslands and jungles programmes of Sir David Attenborough's conservation series Our Planet.

Natural history documentaries are hugely popular on British television. They offer great examples of science communication, and they have a long history, stretching back to the early days of broadcasting by the BBC, and more. As luck would have it, here in STS, we have an expert in these programmes and the people who create them. Dr Jean-Baptiste Gouyon is Associate Professor of Science Communication in the department. He teaches science journalism, sociology of science, and lots more. He also is co-director of our new MSc in Science Communication. A few years ago, Jean-Baptiste published a book on the history of British natural history documentaries, BBC Wildlife Documentaries in the Age of Attenborough (Palgrave). And yes, while research it he met and interviewed the one and only, David Attenborough. In this episode, Dr Jean-Baptiste Gouyon discusses his recent book, BBC Wildlife Documentaries in the Age of Attenborough. This is a history of British natural history filmmaking across the twentieth century. It also is an analysis of how filmmakers establish their identity and authority, such as through “making-of” segments added to their films. Crucial to Jean-Baptiste's analysis is the work of Sir David Attenborough, whose career as a broadcaster and natural history filmmaker has profoundly influenced British wildlife television. In researching his book, Jean-Baptiste interviewed Sir David. We talk about his experiences meeting the master of natural history of television. The book we discussed was: Gouyon, Jean-Baptiste. 2019. BBC Wildlife Documentaries in the Age of Attenborough (Palgrave).

The Instant is the outstanding new book from Amy Liptrot, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Outrun. She joins us on the eve of publication for a very special event in conversation with Lucy Jones, author of Losing Eden. The Outrun is a book about living on the edge, about the pull between island and city, and about the ability of the sea, the land, the wind and the moon to restore life and renew hope. It won both the Wainwright Prize and the PEN Ackerley Prize, and was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan has just been confirmed in the leading role in the forthcoming film adaptation. The Instant picks up where The Outrun left off. Wishing to leave the quiet isolation of her life on Orkney, Amy books a one-way flight to Berlin, rents a shared flat and looks for work. Searching for new experiences, she explores the city's streets, nightclubs and parks and seeks out the city's wildlife - goshawks, raccoons and hooded crows. And she looks for love through the screen of her laptop. The Instant is many things - luminous and intensely honest, powerful and poignant. Amy Liptrot is the author of The Outrun, a Sunday Times bestseller. She writes columns and reviews for various magazines and newspapers including the Guardian and the Spectator, and recently presented the BBC Radio 4 series The New Anatomy of Melancholy. Lucy Jones is a writer and journalist based in Hampshire, England. She previously worked at NME and the Daily Telegraph, and her writing on culture, science and nature has been published in BBC Earth, BBC Wildlife, The Sunday Times, the Guardian and the New Statesman. Her first book, Foxes Unearthed, was celebrated for its 'brave, bold and honest' (Chris Packham) account of our relationship with the fox. Losing Eden took Jones from forest schools in East London to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault via primeval woodlands, Californian laboratories and ecotherapists' couches. 5x15 brings together outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations.

#095: Gerrit Vyn's photography has been inspiring conservation action across the globe for many years. Starting out his career as a natural history photographer, Vyn's current position as a Producer with Cornell Lab of Ornithology (hello, dream job!) has him traveling across the continent and the globe documenting disappearing bird species. It's not an easy job, physically or emotionally. But as a conservation photographer, this particular focus on birds serves conservation on several levels. Vyn says, "My work often focuses on birds because they are such powerful and visible indicators of environmental health and change. Connecting people with birds is often a first step in opening people's eyes to the natural world around them – and to the unprecedented environmental crises now unfolding." His work has been featured in National Geographic, Audubon, Living Bird, BBC Wildlife, GEO, Natural History, National Wildlife and The New York Times.But best of all, his images have been used by conservation organizations large and small to help bring measurable impact for species. In this episode, Vyn shares: What it means to make conservation images that can be put to meaningful useThe benefits of photo blinds and how to use them The emotional impact of working in this field, and how he keeps moving forwardUnforgettable experiences in the field, including being the firsts person to film spoonbill sandpiper chicksAnd much, much more

We're thrilled to introduce you to photographer extraordinaire Doug Gimesy in this week's episode. Doug is a professional conservation and wildlife photojournalist who focuses on Australian issues. A Senior Fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP), his clients include National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, bioGraphic, Australian Geographic, Audubon, as well various mastheads like The Guardian and NewsCorp. Initially trained as a zoologist and microbiologist, he later completed a Masters of Environment and a Masters of Bioethics. Together, these two qualifications helped shape his thinking as what type of issues he should be focusing on and why – conservation and animal welfare issues. Believing people should focus on the issues they care about and those that are close to home, his recent work has focused on the conservation and animal welfare issues facing the platypus and the Grey-headed Flying-fox – having recently facilitated the platypus being listed as threatened species in his home state of Victoria, as well as launching a children's book with his partner on Grey-headed Flying-foxes titled ‘Life Upside Down'. Current on-going projects include covering the illegal reptile trade out of Australia, the use of scent dogs in conservation and a series of portraits called 'Wildlife Warriors, Conservation Champions and Animal Advocates'. Doug hopes that the images and information he shares will inspire people to stop, think, and treat the world more kindly.

The touching and beautiful photography of Suzi Eszterhas is a reminder that every photograph has the potential to say something powerful, poignant and meaningful. Much of her work used imagery of baby animals to spur big impact for conservation. On this episode of Talking Apes we're going to be exploring the way we think, interpret and talk about conservation and wildlife through the camera lens.  We'll also touch on the challenges of being an incredibly talented and dedicated female photographer in a field traditionally dominated by men.Suzi's images have graced the covers of over 100 magazines such as Smithsonian Magazine, BBC Wildlife, TIME and Ranger Rick. Suzi joins us for a thoughtful — personal look at conservations meaning and its importance in our lives through images, and how that's brought to life in her new book, NEW ON EARTH: Baby Animals in the WildSee more of Suzi's work: https://www.suzieszterhas.com/Support the show (https://globio.org/donate)

Gemma and Ian chat to Elaine Whiteford.  Elaine learned to dive in 2002 and qualified as an Instructor (Master Scuba Diver Trainer) in 2005. She is based in Scotland and dives all year round in the North Sea and the sea lochs of the Scottish west coast. A photographer before she was a diver, taking pictures underwater was a natural development for Elaine, who was awarded a Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society with a portfolio of underwater images.   She has had articles published in a range of magazines, both general interest and diving, including Scottish Wildlife, Diver, The Undersea Journal, The Sea, BBC Wildlife and the Scot's Magazine. Her work has also featured in a number of exhibitions, such as the Royal Photographic Society's Projected Image Exhibition, the Edinburgh International Exhibition of Photography and the Scottish Parliament's Biodiversity Exhibition. She had a solo exhibition, Scotland's Waters Brought To Life, in Stirling's Smith Museum. Her images have appeared in a range of books and she is a contributor to Wild & Temperate Seas, 50 Favourite UK Dives, which was published in November, 2020.   Elaine was shortlisted in the 2020 Scottish Nature Photography Awards and her image appears in the Portfolio Yearbook which was published in the autumn of 2021.   https://www.sublimescubaphotography.com/ https://www.facebook.com/SublimeScubaPhotography https://www.instagram.com/sublimescubaphotography/   https://www.ford.co.uk/vans-and-pickups/transit-custom/nugget https://blueotwo.com/     ISSN Number 2752-6127   Contact Gemma and Ian with your messages, ideas and feedback via The BiG Scuba Bat Phone    +44 7810 005924 Or use our social media platforms.   We are on Instagram    @thebigscuba   We are on Facebook     @thebigscuba   We are on Twitter  @the_big_scuba    The BiG Scuba Website     www.thebigscuba.com

“…based on my personal experience and having worked with scientists and researchers most of my life, I would say that it's not too late. There are some things that are probably gone. There are places where only pockets of biodiversity may remain in the time ahead, but that doesn't mean we can't still have a healthy future. It may not be what it once was, but it's like the old saying - when's the best day to quit smoking cigarettes? Today - if you don't quit today, when's the next best day? Tomorrow.  So, it's not too late. We may have lost 50% of the world's coral reefs, but that means there's 50% left. We may have taken 90% of the big fish in the ocean, but maybe there's 10% left. We don't have to kill 100 million sharks every year. We don't have to rollback legislation that determines how much carbon we pump into the atmosphere. We can speak out against that and tell our elected leaders that we care. The ocean doesn't have to turn acidic because we're dumping so much carbon into it that its chemistry is changing. These are things that we can change and can control. So, I do remain cautiously optimistic. I realize that the battle lines are drawn and we have to fight hard, but I do think that it's worth fighting for. It's not too late. And we can see a reversal in the places that have been protected. You do see that resilience. The ocean does know how to take care of itself. We just need to leave it alone…” -Brian Skerry Since it's the last week of summer, not officially but for most of us, we are re-sharing this very important and compelling conversation with Brian Skerry. Brian Skerry is one of the world's greatest and most accomplished underwater and marine wildlife photographers. He's also one of the most prolific: he's been a contract photographer for National Geographic since 1998, his work has been featured in scores of publications including Sports Illustrated, The New York Times and BBC Wildlife, and he's the author of 11 books including the acclaimed monographs Ocean Soul and Shark. In that time he's won so many awards that it would take a second email to list them all, but particular highpoints include Brian becoming an 11-time award winner in the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, and when National Geographic magazine named one of his images among their 50 Greatest Photographs Of All Time. In his four decades exploring the world's oceans, Brian has experienced things that very few humans will ever get to experience, like diving with a population of southern right whales who had never before encountered human beings dropping down into their underwater universe.  Brian dives eight months of the year, often in extreme conditions - beneath Arctic ice or in shark-infested waters. His work brings us the beauty and the majesty of our oceans, but it also shows us the devastation and the destruction that we've caused them. His stories raise awareness, promote conservation, and ultimately create change. Today, June 8th, is World Oceans Day, the day to celebrate the world's combined efforts to protect the one ocean that we all share. And that ocean is in bad shape - between dead zones, loss of apex predators, rising sea levels affecting tidal ecosystems, the bleaching of coral reefs, oil spills polluting the waters and decimating habitats, overfishing and hunting of marine species, climate change, rising acidity levels, and plastic, plastic and more plastic - the ocean's future seems extremely bleak. But, as I learned from Brian, there's still time. Our ocean is resilient and there is so much left that we can save, but we have to act now. And, I can't imagine a better day to begin than World Oceans Day. So, start by listening to Brian, one of the best tellers of ocean stories out there.

In this episode I explore what motivated Lord Deben into the world of sustainability, his work in the industry and his hopes and wishes for COP26 and the G7 in 2021. We explore topics on renewables, smart homes, emobility. Guest: Lord Deben is Chairman of the UK's independent Committee on Climate Change. He also chairs the sustainability consultancy Sancroft International and recycler Valpak. He is a trustee of climate change charity Cool Earth, alongside the ocean conservation charity, Blue Marine Foundation As Environment Secretary he introduced the Environment Act 1995 and the Landfill Tax, which was the first such environmental tax in the UK. During this time, he also pursued environmental causes, introducing an Early Day Motion on global warming to Parliament. He was also instrumental in the passing of the Climate Change Act of 2008. The BBC Wildlife magazine described Lord Deben as the "Environment Secretary against which all others are judged". In 1997, he was also awarded the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Medal and was described by Friends of the Earth as "the best Environment Secretary we've ever had". Topics discussed in this episode: Power and Industry In the lead up to COP26, are there any countries you believe are leading the green industrial revolution? Government policy, is it in the right place now? Do you believe the ‘grid’ is ready for a future of decentralised energy generation, both from the grid and the Prosumer? Where do you believe industry now needs to focus to continue the improvement in this area of carbon reduction? What are your thoughts around the adoption of renewable energy generation and storage? Is it as you’d expect to be, or do you feel we can accelerate deployment? Decarbonising Transport 1. With EV’s on the road now totalling about 400,000 vs a 38 million ICE vehicles, why do you think progress has been relatively slow in EV adoption? 2. What can be done to accelerate EV adoption? 3. How do you think transport will evolve over the next 10 years? Compact Mobility / Air mobility / automated driving? 4. What do you believe are the main opportunities and challenges are for electric vehicles? 5. Fuel tax on internal combustion engine cars has been a valuable source of income for the government, how do we feel they will recoup this revenue as the mass market migrates to electric? Building Net Zero Homes 1. How do you think housebuilders and developers have embraced the concept of smart homes & buildings in general? 2. How does the role of central and local government differ in the smart home of the future, what are the areas to consider to ensure success? 3. What type of technology should we be looking at to decarbonise homes and does this differ between old and new dwellings? 4. Are we ready for a more complex network with things such as bi-directional power flow and 3 phase supply in the home? 5. Does hydrogen have a role to play in decarbonising the home of the future?

I have had the privilege of working with wildlife cameraman and tree rope access expert James Aldred and as he's one of the most humble unassuming people you'll meet I knew I had to get him on the talk about his incredible work and career. An Emmy award winning wildlife cameraman James has filmed all over the world but is most comfortable amongst the canopy filming the worlds arboreal and avian species. This work has included working on legendary productions such as Planet Earth and Our Planet. I first came across James watching his epic BBC Wildlife on One episode where he climbs to a Harpy eagle nest to place a nest camera and feeling the sharp end of a protective mother. He also runs a tree rope access training company and has authored his first book The Man Who Climbs Trees. https://www.jamesaldred.com/

On this episode Michael talks to to Lucy Jones, Author of Losing Eden, about how getting out in nature affects our mental health, and what happens when we lose our connection with the outdoors completely. This is a powerful episode reminding us why stepping away from our desks and connecting with the natural world does more than we realise, and a passionate message on how taking care of the planet we live is a priority that we simply cannot afford to ignore. Lucy Jones is a writer and journalist based in Hampshire, England. Her writing on culture, science and nature has been published in BBC Earth, BBC Wildlife, The Sunday Times, the Guardian and the New Statesman. Her book Losing Eden, is about the relationship between the natural world and the human psyche; a wide-ranging inquiry into the mechanism by which contact with ‘nature' is therapeutic. It has been long-listed for the Wainwright Prize and received a Society of Authors' award. Her book is available to buy now at all good book stores, to find out more about Lucy visit lucyfjones.com or follow her on Instagram at @lucyfjones.

This week I’m speaking to nationally acclaimed entomologist and author of the book ‘Wasp’, Richard Bugman Jones, about a species of wildlife that may not spring to mind as one of your immediate favourites. Wasps, yellow jackets, jaspers, stripy bastards…whatever you call these members of the insect world and whether you love them or loathe them, you will certainly learn lots about them as Richard explains their life cycles and the role they play in ecosystems. If you’re not convinced to become a full-blown wasp lover by the end of the episode, I suspect you will at least have a grudging respect for these resilient creatures. (FYI This episode was recorded a while ago, so it may sound as if we're talking in late winter.) About Richard Jones: Richard writes about insects, wildlife and the environment for a number of publications such as Gardener’s World and BBC Wildlife magazines, The Guardian and The Sunday times.

Welcome to episode 10 of Prompted by Nature. I hope this one finds you happy and well wherever you are! This week I'm excited to release the conversation I had with the lovely Jini Reddy back in mid-May. Jini is an award-winning author and journalist, originally born in London to Indian parents who grew up in apartheid-era South Africa. She was in Montreal, Canada and has a passion for writing travel, nature and spirituality. She has been published in publications such as The Guardian, Time magazine, The Times, Sunday Times Style, National Geographic Traveller, and BBC Wildlife to name just a few! Her first book Wild Times, which I highly recommend, was published in 2016 and she is a contributor to the forthcoming Women on Nature anthology. Her book Wanderland, which we discuss in the episode, is utterly beautiful and charts Jini's search for the magical ‘Other' through her travels around the UK. From the blurb, ‘along the way she tracks down ephemeral wild art, encounters women who worship the goddess, falls deeper in love with her birth land, and struggles, but mostly fails, to get to grips with its lore. Throughout the book she rejoices in the wilderness we cannot see and celebrates the natural beauty we can.' This is a book full of magic and if you're feeling a bit disconnected from nature, I highly recommend this as a gentle nudge to get back into it and remind yourself that you and nature are both as magical as each other! In this episode we discuss: Her background and her inspiration for the book What she means when she talks of the magic in the landscape The concept of the magical ‘Other' and how this relates to ‘Othering' Accessible nature and the need to shift the dialogue around visibility in green spaces The importance of hearing a range of voices in nature writing Following your intuition and the source of creativity Writer's block and how she stays creative The link between Belonging and Nature Nature as an animate entity The joy of being given freedom to what the book you want to write The link between travel writing and nature writing What she would like to pass on Before we get started, we had a few connection issues, which you'll hear in the episode, it doesn't detract from Jini's words, but explains if there are a couple of fuzzy bits. If you would like to find out more about Jini, you can find her on her website www.jinireddy.co.uk and on Instagram @jinireddy20 and Twitter @jini_reddy Jini also offers mentoring and consultancy for writers which you can find out more about via her website www.jinireddy.co.uk/work-with-me As always, you can find me on the website www.promptedbynature.co.uk or on the ‘gram @prompted.by.nature and if you like this or any other episode, please do leave a five-star review wherever you are listening or share with your circle via social media or in real life. I'm passionate about getting these words and voices out there, so anything you can do to share the podcast is always welcome! Remember to stick around until the end when I'll give a little insight into the meditation and writing prompt that follows this episode. Enjoy the conversation and I'll speak to you soon!

Hello and welcome to episode 9 of Prompted by Nature. Today I'm speaking with Lucy Jones, the author of the amazing book ‘Losing Eden: Why Our Minds Need the Wild.' I came across Lucy via the Extinction Rebellion Rewilding group on Facebook, where someone shared the book when it had just come out. The title took me and I immediately bought it from Waterstones. What I love about the book is that not only is it beautifully written, mixing forms and genres, but it is also thoroughly researching, covering every aspect of the argument for ensuring accessibility to high quality green spaces for all in our journey to see everyone in mental wellness. Lucy Jones is the author of Losing Eden: Why Our Minds Need the Wild (Allen Lane). She previously worked at NME and the Daily Telegraph, and her journalism on culture, science and nature has been published in BBC Earth, BBC Wildlife, The Sunday Times, the Guardian and the New Statesman. Her first book, Foxes Unearthed, was celebrated for its 'brave, bold and honest' (Chris Packham) account of our relationship with the fox, winning the Society of Authors' Roger Deakin Award 2015. In this conversation, we discuss: Her journey through addiction and post-natal depression using nature as her ally The opening and ending of the book and the power of mixing genres The importance of accessibility to high quality green spaces for all How nature influences her own creativity The scientifically proven mental health benefits of nature and the power of sharing our stories The creativity of pregnancy and early motherhood The physiology of awe and seeing Beauty in the seemingly mundane Techno-nature and the studies surrounding its use Her hopes for the future What she wants you to know The balance between urgency and hope This is such a pertinent conversation to be having right now. Lucy and I had this conversation back at the end of April and the subjects we cover show just how complex a topic this can be whilst at the same time highlighting that more needs to be done not just by governments and local councils, but by us as individuals and communities. This conversation follows on beautifully from my conversation with Ian, which I released last week, and is the scientific grounding we need to prove why projects such as his work. I urge you, whenever possible, to get this book and be inspired by all the amazing things people are doing to support those facing mental health challenges. And I really did mean it when I said a certain someone in power needs to read this book! Maybe I'll send him a copy! Lucy has given me permission to read a little extract from the book, which begins as a look into a collective dystopian future (after which it switches form to non-fiction) so I thought I'd start with the opening pages. You can find Lucy over on her website www.lucyfjones.com and on Instagram @lucyfjones You can buy her book over at Waterstones. Why not buy it from here or from your local small bookshop and then post a review over on Amazon? As always, I'm at www.promptedbynature.co.uk or on Instagram @prompted.by.nature and if you're local to Brighton, keep a look out for some new small-group meditation and writing events for women popping up from July onwards in woodlands in and around Brighton and East Sussex. And if you're able to a 5-star review wherever you're listening to t his would be amazing and really helps gets the podcast and these voices and conversations out there! Remember to stick around until the end when I'll give you an insight into the meditation and writing prompt that follows. Enjoy the conversation and I'll speak to you after

“…based on my personal experience and having worked with scientists and researchers most of my life, I would say that it's not too late. There are some things that are probably gone. There are places where only pockets of biodiversity may remain in the time ahead, but that doesn't mean we can't still have a healthy future. It may not be what it once was, but it's like the old saying - when's the best day to quit smoking cigarettes? Today - if you don’t quit today, when's the next best day? Tomorrow. So, it's not too late. We may have lost 50% of the world's coral reefs, but that means there's 50% left. We may have taken 90% of the big fish in the ocean, but maybe there's 10% left. We don't have to kill 100 million sharks every year. We don't have to rollback legislation that determines how much carbon we pump into the atmosphere. We can speak out against that and tell our elected leaders that we care. The ocean doesn't have to turn acidic because we're dumping so much carbon into it that its chemistry is changing. These are things that we can change and can control. So, I do remain cautiously optimistic. I realize that the battle lines are drawn and we have to fight hard, but I do think that it's worth fighting for. It's not too late. And we can see a reversal in the places that have been protected. You do see that resilience. The ocean does know how to take care of itself. We just need to leave it alone…” -Brian Skerry Brian Skerry is one of the worlds most accomplished underwater and marine wildlife photographers and he is one of the greatest. He’s been a contract photographer for National Geographic Magazine since 1998 and his work has been featured in scores of other publications, such as Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, BBC Wildlife, Paris Match, GEO, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Smithsonian, Esquire, Audubon and Men’s Journal. He is also the author of 11 books including the acclaimed monographs Ocean Soul and Shark. In his four decades exploring the world's oceans, Brian has experienced things that very few humans will ever get to experience, like diving with a population of southern right whales who had never before encountered human beings dropping down into their underwater universe. Brian dives eight months of the year, often in extreme conditions - beneath Arctic ice or in shark-infested waters. His work brings us the beauty and the majesty of our oceans, but it also shows us the devastation and the destruction that we've caused them. His stories raise awareness, promote conservation, and ultimately create change. Today, June 8th is World Oceans Day, the day to celebrate the world's combined efforts to protect the one ocean that we all share. And that ocean is in bad shape - between dead zones, loss of apex predators, rising sea levels affecting tidal ecosystems, the bleaching of coral reefs, oil spills polluting the waters and decimating habitats, overfishing and hunting of marine species, climate change, rising acidity levels, and plastic, plastic and more plastic the ocean’s future seems extremely bleak. But, as I learned from Brian, there’s still time. Our ocean is resillient and there is so much left that we can save, but we have to act now. And, I can’t imagine a better day to begin than World Oceans Day. So, start by listening to Brian, one of the best tellers of ocean stories out there.

Doug is a professional conservation, wildlife and animal welfare photojournalist, whose clients include National Geographic Creative, BBC Wildlife, Australian Geographic, The New York Times, and the Australian Conservation Foundation. He initially trained as a zoologist, and later completed a Masters of Environment and then a Masters of Bioethics. Together, these two qualifications really helped shape his way of thinking as what type of issues he should be focusing on and why. In this episode we talk about his work with platypus, flying fox, and penguins that live within the cityscape in Melbourne, Australia. His hope is that the images, information and skills he shares, will help engage people to care more, and so behave differently, towards the world around them.

BBC wildlife presenter Patrick Aryee is one of a number of guest speakers set to talk at the second Wildlife and Safari Travel Show in Harrogate, with topics including his own wildlife experiences and conservation projects.

Dos Winkel In de zesde aflevering zit ik met oceaanvoorvechter Dos Winkel. Toen Dos begin jaren 80 zijn eerste duik maakte in het Caribisch gebied, werd hij direct verliefd op de onderwaterwereld. Dos heeft vanaf dat moment ruim 30 jaar veelvuldig gedoken en een internationale reputatie opgebouwd als onderwaterfotograaf. Zijn foto's zijn o.a. gepubliceerd in National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, Terra en Terre Sauvage. Daarnaast heeft hij meerdere boeken op zijn naam staan welke worden verkocht in 54 landen. Omdat Dos al zolang fanatiek in het duiken zit, heeft hij de oceanen afgelopen decennia met eigen ogen dramatisch achteruit zien gaan. Overbevissing, vervuiling van de zee en koraalverbleking zijn processen die in volle gang zijn en helaas veel te weinig aandacht krijgen vanuit de politiek of de media. Daarom is Dos samen met zijn vrouw Bertie de stichting Sea First gestart. Veel mensen zijn namelijk niet op de hoogte welke rol oceanen hebben voor de hele planeet. Zo is de oceaan - net zoals bomen - voor een heel groot deel verantwoordelijk voor de opname van CO2. Daarnaast produceert de oceaan ongeveer 50% van het wereldwijde zuurstof. Maar met overbevissing, koraalverbleking en alle vervuilende stoffen die in de oceanen belanden, staan deze cruciale processen zwaar onder druk. In deze podcast vertelt Dos hoe hij dit ecosysteem in zijn duikcarrière heeft zien veranderen en legt hij duidelijk uit hoe de mens hier een rol in speelt. Daarnaast staan we stil bij de schijnoplossingen die er worden geopperd in de politiek, de media of het bedrijfsleven en waarom deze niet effectief zijn. Tot slot staan we stil bij de vraag wat er moet gebeuren om het leven in de oceaan weer op te laten bloeien én welke rol jij en ik in dat verhaal hebben.   Shownotes VPRO Tegenlicht: De uitzending van VPRO Tegenlicht over stamcelvlees kun je hier bekijken. Studie naar effecten plantaardig dieet: In de podcast verwijst Dos naar een studie genaamd Reducing food’s environmental impacts through producers and consumers. Dit wetenschappelijke onderzoek zet uiteen wat er gebeurt als iedereen vegan wordt. De kern van de studie luidt als volgt: ''De onderzoekers berekenden dat wanneer we ons gemiddelde huidige dieet zouden veranderen naar een plantaardig dieet, we 3,1 miljard minder hectare landbouwgrond nodig hebben – een afname van 76 procent. Onze broeikasgasuitstoot zou met 49 procent afnemen. Verzuring zou met 50 procent afnemen en watervervuiling met 49 procent. Het gebruik van schaars zoet water zou met 19 procent dalen.'' Oceaanvriendelijke zonnebrandcreme: Helaas is een oceaanvriendelijke zonnebrandcrème vinden nog niet zo makkelijk. Zie hier de foto van de zonnebrandcrème die Dos Winkel in huis had. Verder is het goed om te onthouden dat alles wat door de riolering gaat uiteindelijk in de oceaan kan belanden. Denk hierbij aan de schoonmaakmiddelen die je gebruikt. Maar ook aan de douche- en cosmeticaproducten die je op- of insmeert en uiteindelijk weer afspoelt. En zelfs middelen die je op de één of andere manier binnenkrijgt (bijvoorbeeld huidproducten die je absorbeert via de huid, medicijnen) plas je uiteindelijk weer uit en belanden zo dus in de oceaan.   Meer van Dos Winkel Dos is founder van de Sea First Foundation. Sea First zet zich middels diverse typen van voorlichting in voor de oceanen. Zo verzorgen ze bijvoorbeeld lezingen voor scholen, bedrijven, gemeenten, evenementen en ga zo maar door. Ook de documentaire Sea the Truth is een samenwerking van de Partij voor de Dieren en Sea First. Tot slot voeren ze in samenwerking met andere partijen lobbywerk uit om de oceaangezondheid op de kaart te zetten. Je kunt de bezigheden van Sea First volgen via de website, Twitter of Instagram. Daarnaast zijn op Youtube diverse educatieve filmpjes te vinden over het belang van de oceanen. Wil je zijn werk steunen?
