New Zealand experiences more than 4,500 wildfires every year – and the risk of big, destructive wildfires is increasing with climate change.  Ellen Rykers visits the fire lab at the University of Canterbury, a purpose-built facility for setting things on fire and studying how they burn.  Researchers can burn couches or create fire tornadoes. But today, Ellen is with PhD researcher and firefighter Kate Melnick, who is researching gorse, a prickly shrub that is both common and flammable.  We join Kate as she sets up a large gorse bush in the lab, ready to burn.

Questions, comments, feedback? Tap here to send us a message!Stocky Galaxias, or 'Stocky', is one of Australia's most critically endangered species — a tiny fish hidden away in the pristine alpine waters of Kosciuszko National Park.Can the survival of this elusive, critically endangered species illuminate the future of Australia's rivers? In this conversation we discuss efforts to save Stocky from the devastating 2019/2020 Black Summer bushfires and the subsequent rallying of agencies and community groups to protect, conserve, and re-home this special little fish to ensure its survival for future generations. Dr. Siwan Lovett and long-time freshwater fish conservationist and researcher Dr. Mark Lintemans invite you on a journey through the challenges and breakthroughs in conserving this remarkable species. From the thrill of discovering a previously unknown new population, to the innovative strategies that blend natural and artificial solutions for habitat protection, this episode is packed with insights into the delicate balance of river ecosystems, invasive fish, community collaboration and conservation strategies.We take a deep dive into the ongoing efforts to safeguard species like the Galaxiids and Macquarie perch while respecting the interests of recreational fishing. You'll hear how barriers, riparian vegetation, and even shifts in attitudes among trout enthusiasts are contributing to a new paradigm in fisheries management. These changes are essential to maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems and ensuring that both native and introduced species can coexist.Finally, we discuss the urgent issue of genetic diversity, a key factor in the resilience of fish populations against climate change. Discover how genetic research is transforming conservation strategies, with new approaches like cross-breeding and relocation aimed at boosting the genetic health of species under threat. Our conversation extends to the broader picture of Australia's freshwater fish crisis, highlighting the pressing need for comprehensive conservation efforts.If you enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving a rating and review wherever you listen to your podcasts.✉️ Subscribe to our newsletter (no spam, we promise!) to keep up with new episodes of the show!

Have you ever heard of the concept of spontaneous shaking before? The topic on the show today is one I've been really interested in learning more about. My guest, Richmond Heath, is a pioneering force in health innovation and cultural change. A physiotherapist with over 30 years of experience, Richmond introduced TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) to Australia in 2010, training over 5,000 people in the deliberate use of spontaneous shaking for healing. During COVID, he created the world's first online TRE course, which has since reached over 13,000 participants globally.His work extends beyond borders, providing trauma recovery support to survivors of Bushfires, Earthquakes, and war-torn regions. With a background in mental health, men's work, and an Advanced Diploma in Aboriginal Studies, Richmond blends science, cultural wisdom, and a deep commitment to human healing.I'm keen to learn more about his transformative journey—from high-functioning anxiety to a life of purpose—and explore how shaking might just be the missing link in trauma recovery and personal growth. Hope you're ready for a fascinating conversation - I'm excited!For more information about Richmond, check out these places;-Website: Richmond HeathInstagram:   Richmond HeathLinkedin: Richmond HeathHead to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today's guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCoxConnect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcoxConnect with Michelle on Facebook here - @michellejcoxAND, if you have a burning topic you'd love people to talk more about, or know someone who'd be great to come on the One Question podcast, please get in touch;- 

A company that uses hundreds of drones to inspect the power lines and wooden poles that criss-cross the countryside and forests, contributes to our protection against bushfires in Australia, because when there is a strong wind, there are sometimes short circuits and sparks and everything is quickly ablaze. Behind this company, which is paying attention, is a smart German from Bonn. - Zu unserem Schutz vor Buschbränden in Australien trägt eine Firma bei, die mit Hunderten von Drohnen die Stromleitungen und Holzmasten inspiziert, die Landschaft und Wälder durchziehen, denn bei starkem Wind kommt es manchmal zu Kurzschlüssen und Funken und schnell steht alles in Flammen.

Thousands of homes wiped out, entire neighborhoods gone—wildfires in Los Angeles have reached a terrifying new level. But could something like that happen here in Australia? Former New South Wales Fire and Rescue Commissioner Greg Mullins joins us to break it all down—how bushfires are getting worse, why they’re becoming harder to fight, and what that means for people living near bushland. Greg shares his firsthand experience working with fire agencies around the world and explains how bushfires are now turning into full-blown urban firestorms. We get into why hazard reduction burns are getting trickier, what building codes can (and can’t) do to protect homes, and the brutal reality that some fires just can’t be fought. It’s a conversation that every homeowner—especially those in fire-prone areas—needs to hear. So what can we actually do about it? Greg’s got some straight-up advice, plus a few surprising facts that might change the way you think about bushfire risk.
