Podcast appearances and mentions of David Attenborough

Welcome back to the LuxeGen Group Chat – your go-to podcast for pop culture deep dives, TikTok theories and everything we're loving right now. This week, Saroop is joined by Lola and India for a bumper episode covering jungle gossip, social media conspiracies and online nostalgia. The trio dive into this year's ‘I'm A Celeb' line-up (yes, we're obsessed with Aitch and AngryGinge), debate the EsDeeKid x Timothée Chalamet theory, and unpack Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo's ‘Wicked: For Good' press tour chaos. Plus, they debate the return of Vine (or should we say… diVine?) and why the internet just isn't ready. In fashion, they're loving the adidas x ASOS satin tracksuit, shearling everything, boat shoes and Palace jackets, as well as the newly revived GAP. For beauty and fragrance, it's all about creamy scents and cosy vibes and in food and drink, the girls share the best spots in London – from The Camberwell Arms to Speedboat Bar – and celebrate the launch of Saroop's new wine and coffee bar in Leeds. Plus, a wholesome moment for David Attenborough's ‘Kingdom', a heated roast potato debate and justice for antelopes everywhere…Follow us on:Instagram | https://bit.ly/3X0xm27TikTok | http://bit.ly/3jvwlBEPodcast | https://open.spotify.com/show/60SxAVVuD3LrgLdlKuy3uH Panel:Saroop Sangha | @saroop.k.s | https://www.instagram.com/saroop.k.s/?hl=en Lola Lawlor | @lolalawlor | https://www.instagram.com/lolalawlor/?hl=enIndia Agyeman | @indiaaagy | https://www.instagram.com/indiaagy/?hl=enAD | Rabanne | https://www.rabanne.com/uk/en_GB/fragrance/p/fame--000000000065170087HOT LISTI'm A Celebrity | https://www.itv.com/imacelebrityStranger Things | https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80057281THINGS WE'RE LOVINGUrban Outfitters Shearling Trucker Hat | https://tinyurl.com/7e79tmwx H&M Boat Shoes | https://tinyurl.com/yc2bd5xn MKI Miyuki Zoku | https://bit.ly/4opWihb Kingdom | https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002hdglThe Camberwell Arms | https://thecamberwellarms.co.uk/The Waterman's Arms | https://www.watermansarms.co.uk/Speedboat Bar | https://speedboatbar.co.uk/Vinyl Grounds | https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_grounds/ Hosted on Acast.

"During those 102 hours, I connected with my soul, my brain, my body, to a level that I will probably never do again. And I discovered a part of myself that I couldn't think was capable of doing what I did." Noam Yaron swam from Corsica to just off the coast of Monaco, mainland Europe, to push himself to the limit and raise awareness about the marine environment. Here's what he learned about human endurance and the threats to nature posed by pollution, shipping and rising temperatures.

In this episode Irma and Karen chat about the 2025 Ubud Writers & Readers Festival, painting a picture of the festival atmosphere and sharing some of the highlights. Then they ask six authors at the festival – Clare Wright, Jenny Erpenbeck, Lech Blaine, Yves Rees, Craig Leeson and Virginia Haussegger – to share a green room story. They uncover Bryan Brown's funny festival request, Thomas Keneally's unwitting green room 'theft', Jenny Erpenbeck's props room catastrophe, Annabel Crabb's near miss, David Attenborough's pub oration, and how Virginia Haussegger burnt a hole in a green room floor.

Een diner op de Noordpool, kite-skiën op Antarctica of racen op een vulkaan; vermogenden kiezen steeds vaker de meest extreme ‘luxepedities'. Henry Reid had de Matterhorn ‘gebeast' door binnen zes uur naar boven en weer naar beneden te klimmen, en zocht nu naar een nieuwe uitdaging. Zo belandde de eenenveertigjarige op een speedboat die met tachtig kilometer per uur over de Noorse Trollfjord suisde, voorzien van survivalpak, skiboots en ski's om de verse sneeuw uit te proberen. De projectontwikkelaar uit Berkshire had samen met een groep vrienden wekenlang getraind voor de drie uur lange klim – en afdaling – van een 650 meter hoge berg te beklimmen, door kakelverse sneeuw. ‘Ik wist dat dit een van de fysiek uitdagendste dingen was die ik ooit zou doen,' zegt hij. De wandeling door de sneeuw vol kick-turns en zigzags, met ‘skins' op hun ski's om de helling op te kunnen lopen, was uitputtend. Maar volgens Reid was het het waard toen ze bij de ijzige afgrond aankwamen en zich ‘konden voorstellen hoe de Scandinaviërs op de mythen van de Walkuren waren gekomen'. Toen ze na de terugreis door sneeuw tot aan hun middel weer bij de boot aankwamen was het tijd voor een bezoek aan een plaatselijke herberg genaamd Metro, naar zijn oorsprong als meteorologiestation. Na een diner bereid door een Italiaanse chef kwam de eigenaar van Metro, Matthias, ‘naar ons toe en zei: “Als jullie nog nooit het noorderlicht hebben gezien, moet je nu even naar buiten gaan,”' vertelt Reid. ‘De hemel werd groen, met witte en blauwe strepen; het was de perfecte afsluiting van een perfecte dag.” Het is de norm van een nieuw soort reiziger om met extreme vakanties de grenzen van het menselijke uithoudingsvermogen op te zoeken, op zowel fysiek als mentaal vlak. Dit zijn niet het soort avonturiers die in juni 2023 in de zwarte, ijzige diepte van de Atlantische Oceaan omkwamen in de Titan-onderzeeër van Ocean Gate. Denk eerder aan de techbro's uit de film Mountainhead van Jesse Armstrong, die in identieke oranje skipakken de top van een berg in Utah beklimmen en daar neerstrijken om uit te rusten en hun netto vermogens met elkaar te vergelijken. Niet alleen de sneeuw was diep, maar ook hun portefeuille. Gewoontjes Nu recente rapporten aantonen dat de Mount Everest te vol en vervuild raakt – en dergelijke klimsessies inmiddels zo populair zijn dat ze te gewoontjes zijn geworden voor vermogende wereldmigranten – krijgen onaangeraakte bergtoppen, de krochten van de zee en zelfs de ruimte steeds meer aantrekkingskracht. Neem Henry Cookson. Hij begon een nieuwe carrière waarbij hij anderen meeneemt naar het einde van de wereld en – als het meezit – weer terug. ‘Ik was een bankier met overgewicht die veel te veel tijd doorbracht in de Londense cafés. Mijn leven veranderde toen ik een uitnodiging ontving voor de Scott Dunn Polar Challenge,' vertelt hij vanaf de top van een alp, waar hij eindelijk tijd heeft mij telefonisch te woord te staan. Hij won de race van 580 kilometer naar de magnetische noordpool en brak met zijn tijd van elf dagen het parcoursrecord. Vervolgens wandelde en kiteski'de hij naar het zuidelijke punt van onbereikbaarheid – het punt in Antarctica dat in alle richtingen het verst van de zee ligt. Op 19 januari 2007, 48 dagen na het vertrek van het Novolazarevskaya-station, vestigde hij met zijn drie teamgenoten een wereldrecord; ze waren de eersten die de plek bereikten zonder gebruik te maken van motorvoertuigen. ‘Als je de juiste mensen om je heen hebt kan je de meest wonderbaarlijke dingen bereiken’ ‘Ik wist helemaal niet hoe je een poolexpeditie ondernam. Ik kon niet langlaufen en was zeker niet fit. Maar als je de juiste mensen om je heen hebt kan je de meest wonderbaarlijke dingen bereiken,' vertelt hij. Met zijn bedrijf Cookson Adventures, dat hij na die reis oprichtte, kunnen klanten overal heen. Zo biedt hij een diner op de Noordpool aan, waarbij klanten vanuit Canada, waar het ijs dik genoeg is, naar het poolgebied reizen, en in een zogeheten jump plane naar de Noordpool vliegen, waar ze vervolgens naar een gedekte tafel op het ijs skydiven. ‘Sommige cliënten kunnen al skydiven, anderen worden aan een expert vastgemaakt,' vertelt Cookson.Het ijs rondom de noordpool drijft rond en het is best een opgave om in te schatten welke richting het op gaat. Het is de bedoeling dat ze zich tegen de tijd dat het kamp staat en de gasten per parachute arriveren precies op de pool bevinden. ‘Iedereen wil een foto waarop de GPS bevestigt dat ze op de pool staan,' legt Cookson uit. Nadat de gasten een nacht op het ijs hebben doorgebracht zet Cooksons team een sauna met koelbad klaar om de gasten goed wakker te krijgen. De prijs: ‘Vanaf 1,2 miljoen dollar [ongeveer 1,04 miljoen euro],' zegt hij, met nadruk op ‘vanaf'. Na een overnachting op de Noordpool naar de sauna en tussen de sessies een duik onder het ijs. – © Cookson Adventures Geen prijslimiet Deze nieuwe niche voor reizen voor amateuravonturiers draagt de vreselijke naam luxepedities. Volgens onderzoek van reisconsulent Grand View bedraagt deze sector wereldwijd al ruim 1,4 biljoen dollar, met een verwachte jaarlijkse groei van 7,9 procent. Zo veel nullen op de rekening vallen in het niet naast de belofte van een ultieme uitdaging. ‘Als er een prijslimiet is, hebben we die nog niet gevonden,' aldus directeur Kevin Jackson van EXP Journeys, die met het Dineh-volk in Noord-Amerika samenwerkt om voor het eerst een expeditie naar de top vande Tower Butte te organiseren, een 300 meter lange rotsachtige toren in Arizona met uitzicht op Lake Powell, om daar vervolgens te kamperen. ‘Zo heb je je privébergtop,' vertelt hij. ‘Het is nooit eerder gedaan. Het uitzicht bij zonsopkomst en zonsondergang is een van de mooiste in de wereld.' Na op de 23 meter lange woonboot Sumerset op Lake Powell te hebben overnacht, wandelen de gasten door de ravijnen naar de rotspilaar. Die beklimmen ze vervolgens van de zuidoostelijke zijde met reeds bevestigde touwen en de Jumartechniek – een soort touwladder. Eenmaal aan de top slaan ze hun kamp op met chef Shon Foster, die een ‘veredelde Navajo-tacomaaltijd' voor ze bereidt. De volgende dag gebruiken ze de touwen om weer naar beneden te abseilen. De laatste dag is minder uitputtend. Die besteden ze bij Amangiri, een post van Aman, de hotelgroep met de filosofie ‘less is more' (totdat je de rekening ziet). De reis kost 20.000 dollar per persoon, uitgaande van een tienkoppige groep. Wrang detail: de dodelijke Titanic-expeditie kostte 250.000 dollar de man. ‘Je wilt niet graag terugkijken en denken: “God, wat had ik dat graag eens geprobeerd”’ Waar komt deze toename in luxepedities vandaan? Voor de techbro-scene van Mountainhead spelen het gevaar voor eigen leven en de kans om jezelf te bewijzen spreken een rol. Maar Geordie Mackay-Lewis en Jimmy Carroll, voormalig kapiteins in het Britse Leger en oprichters van Pelorus, de firma achter Reid's Noorse odyssee, hebben het niet zo op opschepperij en noemen een andere motivatie. ‘Je groeit, ontwikkelt en leert een heleboel over jezelf als je doorzet en jezelf uitdaagt,' legt Carroll uit. ‘Klanten merken vaak dat ze van dit soort reizen weerbaarder worden, meer waardering krijgen voor teamwork onder druk en dat ze, als het leven wordt gereduceerd tot zijn puurste vorm, beter gaan inzien wat er echt toe doet.' Reid stemt hiermee in: ‘Voor mij draait het niet om het patsen. Skiën is een van mijn favoriete bezigheden met vrienden. Je wilt niet graag terugkijken en denken: “God, wat had ik dat graag eens geprobeerd.” Die reis naar Noorwegen wilde ik al jaren maken. Voor mij en mijn vrienden betekent het veel, het gaat niet om de buitenwereld.' Na de zware klim kozen de vrienden ervoor de laatste twee dagen van hun Arctic Elements ski-ervaring over te gaan op heli-skiën, waarbij ze zich op tussen de 600 en 1500 meter hoogte vanuit de helikopter naar beneden lieten vallen. Geprikkeld en uitgedaagd Lauren Ho, reisdirecteur van de wereldwijde lifestylebijbel Wallpaper magazine, beaamt dat veel reizigers verlangen naar ‘vervreemding, ontdekking en de mogelijkheid op tijdens het reizen en geprikkeld en uitgedaagd te worden'. Op weg van Londen naar Saudi-Arabië legt ze uit: ‘Het is nooit zo makkelijk geweest om ergens te komen, maar tegelijkertijd is het nooit zo moeilijk geweest om te weten waarom. Ooit reisden we om de wereld te ontdekken, nu boeken we hotels en restaurants vanwege hun beoordeling op Tripadvisor, allemaal geselecteerd door algoritmen en voor ons gemak geoptimaliseerd. We bewegen ons door de wereld zonder al te veel uitdagingen. De plekken die er echt toe doen – en die ons bijblijven – zijn de plekken die provoceren, die ons confronteren en waar we nog lang na de reis aan terugdenken.' ‘Het is nooit zo makkelijk geweest om ergens te komen, maar tegelijkertijd is het nooit zo moeilijk geweest om te weten waarom’ De door The White Lotus geïnspireerde trend om het nieuwste ‘it'-resort te bezoeken en op sociale media ervaringen met vaak gekunstelde luxe te delen, zet sommige welgestelde reizigers ertoe aan nieuwe horizonten op te zoeken. ‘Voordat het iets werd om te documenteren diende reizen om te ervaren. Men ging niet op reis om in contact te komen met de buitenwereld, maar om eraan te ontsnappen. Het was niet performatief maar persoonlijk. Geen publiek, enkel de spanning om op een plek te komen die niet eens doorhad dat je was gearriveerd.' Luxereizenonsulent en hoofd van Brown en Hudson Philippe Brown is beaamt dat de drukke plekken, bekend van Instagram, er inmiddels ‘goedkoop' uitzien voor rijke reizigers die ze al eerder bezochten. Hij ontwijkt de trendy ervaringen en kiest in plaats daarvan voor ‘zeldzame, ongebruikelijke paden, die juist resoneren met mensen die alles al hebben.' Reisagent Jaclyn Charles, oprichter van Sienna Charles, beklaagt ‘de celebrityvorming van het reizen. Neem bijvoorbeeld Jeff Bezos en Lauren Sánchez.' Het stel vierde hun bruiloft door in Venetië een week lang te feesten op Koru, hun superjacht van 500 miljoen dollar. Charles, die voormalig VS-president George Bush en zangeres Mariah Carey onder haar klanten mag rekenen, biedt reizen op maat aan waarmee men volledig off the grid kan gaan. ‘We hoeven niet naar Mount Everest om iets speciaals te creëren.' Of naar Venetië in een superjacht. ‘Met de juiste gidsen kunnen “extreme” omgevingen veilig worden voor niet- ontdekkingsreizigers' Mackay-Lewis en Carroll merken op dat verbeteringen op het gebied van veiligheid het misschien nog niet makkelijk, maar zeker praktischer maken om vrijwel ieder avontuur aan te gaan – behalve dan naar de maan reizen, maar ook dat is waarschijnlijk slechts een kwestie van tijd. Mackay-Lewis, die op een foto op de Pelorus-website hand in poot staat afgebeeld met een wolf, zegt: ‘Met de juiste gidsen en voorbereiding kunnen “extreme” omgevingen veilig worden voor niet-ontdekkingsreizigers en niet-extreme reizigers.' Zo is het vandaag de dag mogelijk om vier actieve vulkanen in Nicaragua te beklimmen binnen 24 uur, een prestatie die Carroll de ‘Le Mans 24-hour challenge' noemt, ‘maar dan met vulkanen in plaats van auto's. Het gaat om een van de minst bezochte en toch een van de mooiste plekken op aarde, met actieve lavavelden.' 82.000 euro Voor degenen die na deze uitdaging wat willen ontspannen, organiseert Pelorus een uitstapje van een paar dagen naar het privé-eiland Calala, naast de kust van Nicaragua, waar diëtisten, wellness- en herstelexperts beschikbaar zijn. Een avontuur van acht dagen, inclusief de challenge van 24 uur en een week op het eiland, kost vanaf 95.000 dollar (ongeveer 82.000 euro) per persoon, uitgaande van een groep van vier personen. Naast veiligheid speelt voldoening een grote rol. Toen een rijke familie een reis naar de Noordpool aanvroeg, organiseerde Pelorus een pakket met genoeg activiteiten om een hele David Attenborough-documentaire mee te vullen, inclusief pinguïns voor de kleuters, een gletsjerwandeling voor de grootouders en een ijsbeersafari op een Zodiacboot voor het hele gezelschap. Lunch werd geserveerd op de rand van een ijskap, op een grote tafel geflankeerd door met bont beklede stoelen. De tafel is gedekt voor een familite op ‘expeditie’ op de Noordpool. – © Pelorus Reizen naar de noordelijkste plek op aarde zijn niet ongewoon voor Pelorus, wiens reizen op een luxejacht rondom Spitsbergen vanaf 20.000 dollar per persoon (exclusief vlucht) worden aangeboden. Degenen die voet aan wal willen zetten op de Noordpool kunnen eventueel met een OceanSky-schip op reis, waar, als ze weer terug aan boord zijn, de klanten worden vergast op sterrendiner. Zijn dit soort extreme reisjes het geld waard, al maken ze maar een klein deukje in de portemonnee van de een- procenter? ‘Honderd procent!' zegt Mackay-Lewis terwijl hij de zoveelste flinke cheque incasseert. Hij wijst ons op de benodigde creativiteit om uit te blinken op de reismarkt. ‘Als ze naar een normaal luxueus reisbureau gaan en zeggen: “Ik wil naar Namibië,” staat ze waarschijnlijk een standaardrondreis te maken. Er zit geen verhaal achter. Er is geen echte onderdompeling bij inheemse gemeenschappen en geen aandacht voor natuurbehoud.' Donaties Cookson beaamt dat maatschappelijke baten op langere termijn een krachtige prikkel zijn voor luxpeditionisten. Hij wijst erop dat na zulke avonturen de donaties snel volgen – of het nu gaat om weeshuizen, de filantropische stichtingen van de reisorganisaties of om hoge toegangs-/permit-fees voor ‘onbereikbare' locaties die als donatie worden gepresenteerd. Om het Bhutaanse Koninklijke Park Manas te mogen bezoeken, waar men naar de bedreigde Bengaalse tijger en de Aziatische olifant op zoek gaat, of om op nieuwe routes in het heuvelgebied van het Himalayagebergte te wandelen, moeten Cooksons klanten een lokale ngo, school of conservatieproject steunen – bovenop de standaardprijs van 250.000 voor de tiendaagse reis. ‘Het koninklijk huis van Bhutan staat erop dat groepsreizen een duidelijk doel hebben en een bijdrage leveren aan het land,' legt Cookson uit. Henry Cookson op de Antarctic Pole of Inaccessibility. – © Cookson Adventures Zelf doet hij daar graag nog een schepje bovenop. ‘We hebben plannen om een uniek en nooit eerder vertoond eco-kamp te stichten op een prachtige plek in Groenland, een bestemming waar we steeds meer organiseren,' zegt hij. Het gebied ontwikkelt momenteel een internationale toerismesector – zo werd er vorig jaar een nieuw vliegveld geopend, met nog twee in het vooruitzicht. Niet alle welgestelde vakantieaanbieders hebben echter de duurzaamheidsboodschap meegekregen. ‘Sommigen lijkt het helemaal niets te kunnen schelen,' aldus Mackay-Lewis. Dus ‘rekent Pelorus het door aan de klant', met een extra ‘planeetrekening' op elke factuur, en een heffing van 1 procent voor natuurbehoud. Luxpeditionisten moeten er van hen aan geloven – of hun miljoenenbudget voor avonturen ergens anders besteden.

Hello listeners. This week on the Mongabay Newscast, we ask that you take a few minutes to fill out a brief survey to let us know what you think of our audio reporting, which you can do here. Mongabay founder and CEO Rhett Butler was recently awarded the Henry Shaw Medal by the Missouri Botanical Garden and named to the 2025 Forbes Sustainability Leaders list alongside conservation greats such as David Attenborough. The credit for this success belongs to Mongabay, Butler says on this week's podcast. "While my name is on the award, it's for Mongabay. All that Mongabay achieves is not necessarily me. I'm the figurehead," Butler says of receiving the Henry Shaw Medal. Butler also shares his thoughts and reflections on the passing of his longtime friend, and conservation icon, Jane Goodall, through whom he learned to see the value in hope and optimism. "The biggest thing I took away from my relationship with Jane … is the importance of hope," he says. "She was truly a messenger for hope." You can read Butler's obituary for Jane Goodall here. Find the Mongabay Newscast wherever you listen to podcasts, from Apple to Spotify. All past episodes are also listed here at the Mongabay website.

About the Guest Aymeric Maudous is the Co-founder of Lord of the Trees , an Australian-based environmental technology company pioneering drone-assisted reforestation. With over two decades in the environmental sector and a Master's in Environmental Management from UNSW, Aymeric combines cutting-edge robotics and AI with Indigenous ecological knowledge to regenerate degraded landscapes. His work has taken him from the Daintree Rainforest to Borneo and beyond, where he collaborates with local communities to restore ecosystems and biodiversity at scale. Episode Summary In this episode of Shape the System, host Vincent Turner talks with Aymeric Maudous, founder of Lord of the Trees, about reimagining reforestation through technology and traditional wisdom. Inspired by a David Attenborough documentary and the natural cycle of birds dispersing seeds, Aymeric's “lightbulb moment” led to a model where drones replace birds, dropping nutrient-rich seed pods to restore damaged ecosystems faster and more efficiently. Aymeric explains how Lord of the Trees blends high-tech solutions—AI, robotics, and drones—with low-tech, traditional ecological knowledge from Indigenous communities. This unique hybrid approach not only accelerates land restoration but also ensures cultural and environmental authenticity. Their process spans from detailed soil and species analysis to creating digital twins of landscapes and performing precision planting with military-grade drones. The discussion explores the enormous global opportunity—1.7 trillion hectares in need of reforestation—and the challenges that come with scale, regulation, and trust in the carbon credit market. Aymeric also delves into their upcoming plans to use blockchain to verify and bring transparency to reforestation projects. Beyond the tech, he shares the human side of the work: his joy in being on the ground, learning from local communities, and leaving behind a living legacy for future generations. Key Takeaways 1.7 trillion hectares of land globally could be reforested—an area roughly equal to the USA and China combined. Lord of the Trees combines high-tech drones and AI with local ecological knowledge to regenerate land sustainably. Each project begins with ecosystem mapping and creating a digital twin, allowing precision planting tailored to the environment. Transparency is key: blockchain and distributed ledger technology will enable public verification of reforestation progress and carbon credits. True regeneration requires maintenance and balance, not just planting—nature thrives through care, sequencing, and community collaboration. Notable Quotes “I was watching a David Attenborough documentary when I thought — why don't we replace birds with drones and make our own seed pods?” — Aymeric Maudous “Not all land needs to be reforested. Plains and savannas are just as important as rainforests in maintaining balance.” — Aymeric Maudous “We use drones, AI, and robotics — but we also rely on thousands of years of local ecological knowledge. It's a symbiosis of high-tech and low-tech.” — Aymeric Maudous “With technology today, including blockchain, we can trace every tree planted — creating a new source of truth for environmental restoration.” — Aymeric Maudous “I love being barefoot with Aboriginal people, walking through the forest, learning about trees and birds. That's where the magic happens.” — Aymeric Maudous Resources Lord of the Trees Shape the System is  an independent podcast with support from KPMG High Growth Ventures More about KPMG High Growth Ventures Scale up for success.

We all rely on nature to survive - but humans continue to destroy and degrade the environment to an extent that puts our own species at risk Nature conservationist Marco Lambertini puts the case for going 'nature positive' - getting companies and countries to account for their impact on nature and find ways to conserve and restore more than they destroy.

Prince Andrew - the royal problem that just won't go away - has done just that, by giving up his royal titles. So, Amelia Lester and Claire Murphy join our royal correspondent Holly Wainwright to try understand - why now? Plus, does high fashion actually hate women? From a dress that looks more like a cocoon, to an ensemble that includes a mask covering Kim Kardashian's entire face and a corset so tight your body actually spills out of it, it begs the question, who exactly is buying it?

We said goodbye to Jane Goodall, who passed away yesterday at 91 after a life that inspired millions. I feel so grateful to have had the chance to speak with her back in July 2022, a conversation I'll never forget. Today, in honour of her incredible legacy, I want to re-share it with you. ___________________________________________________________________ The legendary Jane Goodall is a scientist, conservationist and humanitarian, whose 60-year study of wild chimpanzees in Tanzania challenged and overturned much of the conventional scientific thinking at the time. Her tireless work over the years - she is now 88 - has won her a legion of admirers, including David Attenborough, Leonardo di Caprio, Prince Harry and Greta Thunberg who calls Goodall ‘a true hero'. She joins me to talk about the resilience of hope, whether chimpanzees have a sense of failure, her own failures in language, correspondence and motherhood, and her belief in the next generation. This was one of the most enlightening podcast interviews I've ever had the privilege of doing. Please listen! ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction and Tribute to Jane Goodall 01:47 Early Life and Career 04:14 The Concept of Hope and Optimism 08:55 Groundbreaking Work with Chimpanzees 15:16 Challenges and Triumphs  20:22 Reflections on Failure and Success 29:18 The Power of Imagination and Early Influences 30:22 Exploring Animal Friendships 32:43 Roots and Shoots: A Movement for Change 37:37 Spiritual Experiences and Beliefs 44:58 Challenges and Failures 49:48 Reflections on Parenting and Influential Figures 54:26 Messages of Hope and Resilience  

Jane Goodall, the renowned conservationist and pioneer of groundbreaking chimpanzee field research, has died of natural causes at the age of 91.Jane lived an utterly remarkable life, and her discoveries revolutionised science.She was only 26 years old when she first visited Tanzania to begin her research on chimpanzees in the wildBefore Jane went to Africa we knew very little about chimpanzees, despite the fact that they're our closest cousins.It's only because of Jane's research and observations that we now know they sometimes eat meat, they make tools, they laugh, they are curious about the world around them, they love, they mourn, and sometimes, they are capable of spectacular violence.You can read more about The Jane Goodall Institute online.This episode of Conversations explores zoology, biology, evolution, Africa, exploration, conservation, chimpanzees, apes, monkeys, Kenya, Tanzania, David Attenborough, Dame Jane, mother earth, protecting our environment, habitats, UN Messenger of Peace, raising awareness, threats to wildlife, sustainable relationship between people, animals and the natural world, celebrity death.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Death Pool Celebrities GameScott and Burke hosted a macabre-themed show where they discussed death and dying, introducing a "Death Pool" game where they picked celebrities to bet on who would pass away first. They selected several high-profile individuals including Alan Alda, Bruce Willis, Dick Van Dyke, David Attenborough, Eva Marie Saint, Mel Brooks, King Charles III, and Michael J. Fox, with each person being at least 76 years old. The game involves filling 100 slots, with the number dropping to 50 in 2026, and players can make trades throughout the season when someone dies.Celebrity Health and Age AnalysisScott and Burke discussed a list of celebrities, focusing on those who are older or facing health issues. They shared information about actors, musicians, and other public figures, including their ages, notable works, and current health conditions. Burke and Scott adjusted the screen-sharing setup to better view the list and discussed potential scoring systems based on age. They continued selecting celebrities from their lists, with Scott explaining his reasoning for choosing certain individuals, such as Anthony Hopkins and Al Pacino, due to their age or significant contributions to film.Death List Celebrities DiscussionScott and Burke discussed their picks for a death list, focusing on actors and their ages. They shared information about several celebrities, including Marion Ross (96 years old) and James Hong (96 years old), noting their longevity in the entertainment industry. Burke mentioned that he was selecting people based on age rather than conditions, while Scott was choosing famous actors. They also briefly discussed a recent death from the movie "Big Trouble in Little China."Celebrity Ages and Career HighlightsScott and Burke discussed several celebrities and their ages, including Sophia Loren, Clint Eastwood, Julie Andrews, Robert Wagner, Jane Fonda, Barbara Eden, Michael Caine, Willie Nelson, Morgan Freeman, Judy Dench, Faye Dunaway, Tippi Hedren, Julie Christie, and Ringo Starr. They shared information about the celebrities' careers, notable films, and ages, with some discussion about how Reddit links they had used for research were no longer accessible.Death Pool List PlanningBurke and Scott discussed their picks for a death pool list, focusing on celebrities and historical figures who are older or have health issues. They agreed to keep the list at 50 people for now, with the option to expand next year. Burke mentioned using ChatGPT to generate potential picks. They also talked about the rules for updating the list, including the ability to swap out picks if someone gets sick or dies. The conversation ended with a discussion about lawn mowers and a brief mention of an upcoming air show in Cleveland.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/davisanddavis/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We look at this open and challenging examination of the world's coral reefs and their prospects for survival. See more about Reefs of Time: What Fossils Reveal about Coral Survival by Lisa S. Gardiner here. Reefs of Time: What Fossils Reveal about Coral Survival, reviewed This is an important book, well written and about a vital aspect of our natural heritage and wild life. The author, Lisa Gardiner also presents some rays of hope too, looking at coral reefs and their potential for resilience in some situations. Sadly however, there are some locations, which despite surviving over a century of fluctuating tides, temperatures and other challenging conditions, then experienced massive and complete die offs when the conditions just proved too challenging. The book does collate some positive and hopeful experiences of examples of where coral has survived, regrouped and revived. The trouble is that mankind just keeps nudging the needle higher and higher in terms of the degree and speed at which global waters are rising in temperature. These are clear and present examples of where the science illustrates that global warming is 100% a reality and is having wide, and terrible consequences. It is hard not to consider the politics of our time, sure there are climate change deniers, flooding the zone with bad science, to delay, defer and deny these real and hard facts. Equally, when Gardiner mentions the Paris Agreement and it's potential to mitigate climate change, how can this even succeed when it is actively being undermined and withdrawn from. None of these factors make this a bad book, very much the opposite, this book is well written, even handed, facts based, it is just saddening that we live in times where there are very real, negative consequences to denying climate change. Reefs are beautiful, wonderful things, and books like this help to explain and demonstrate why, however, like David Attenborough, trying to document the wonder and beauty of nature, while it is being exterminated around him, it can be hard to hold both of these threads in your hand at the same time. An important book, and wouldn't it be great if humanity could stop destroying the natural world around it, so that our own future generations can actually see it for themselves. More about Reefs of Time With rising global temperatures, pollution, overfishing, ocean acidification, and other problems caused by humans, there's no question that today's coral reefs are in trouble. As predictions about the future of these ecosystems grow increasingly dire, scientists are looking in an unlikely place for new ways to save corals: the past. The reefs of yesteryear faced challenges too, from changing sea level to temperature shifts, and understanding how they survived and when they faltered can help guide our efforts to help ensure a future for reefs. Lisa Gardiner weaves together the latest cutting-edge science with stories of her expeditions to tropical locales to show how fossils and other reef remains offer tantalizing glimpses of how corals persisted through time, and how this knowledge can guide our efforts to ensure a future for these remarkable organisms. Gardiner takes readers on an excursion into "the shallow end of deep time" - when marine life was much like today's yet unaffected by human influence - to explore the cities of fossilized limestone left behind by corals and other reef life millennia ago. The changes in reefs today are unlike anything ever seen before, but the fossil record offers hope that the coral reefs of tomorrow can weather the environmental challenges that lie ahead. A breathtaking journey of scientific discovery, Reefs of Time reveals how lessons from the past can help us to chart a path forward for coral reefs struggling for survival in an age of climate crisis and mass extinction. More about the author Dr. Lisa S. Gardiner is a science writer, educator, scientist, and speaker. Her second nonfiction book, Reefs of Time: What Fossils Reve...

David Attenborough once said the world's ecosystem would collapse if all the bees, wasps, ants and flies were to disappear. So why are we allowing one third of them to be under threat of extinction? Without insects, we wouldn't have decomposition, nutrient recycling, seed spreading or pollination. But pollution, intensive farming and habitat loss are causing that to suffer. All to discuss with Collie Ennis, Biodiversity Officer at Trinity College Dublin.

Ari and Chris are joined by their first guest who's had David Attenborough attend their graduation (at least as far as we know): Sarah Bonser-Blake, Animal Welfare Field Manager with Wild Welfare! Sarah shares the journey she's taken from getting paid to point at whales to her current role making real change in people that makes change for animals, the joys of managing a resource base, her history of collaboration and taking risks (even when her body rejected the idea), and the importance of considering many perspectives when looking at "the X, Y, and Zed" of animal welfare.

In this week's episode, host Daniel Rami talks with Heather Zichal, global head of sustainability at JPMorganChase, about the role of financial institutions in the energy transition. Zichal explains how she has advanced climate policy goals from positions in the United States Congress, the executive branch, nonprofits, and the financial sector. From these diverse perspectives, Zichal outlines the opportunities and challenges for climate-policy stakeholders as they navigate an uncertain political environment. Zichal highlights how financial institutions support the energy transition through green finance commitments, supporting clients' sustainability goals, and investing in emerging technologies to support the world's energy needs. Zichal underscores the importance of promoting climate solutions that focus on long-term value in the context of commercial and sustainability goals and that balance environmental and business priorities.

In 1954, a young David Attenborough made his début as the star of a new nature show called “Zoo Quest.” The docuseries, which ran for nearly a decade on the BBC, was a sensation that set Attenborough down the path of his life's work: exposing viewers to our planet's most miraculous creatures and landscapes from the comfort of their living rooms. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz trace Attenborough's filmography from “Zoo Quest” to his program, “Mammals,” a six-part series on BBC America narrated by the now- ninety-eight-year-old presenter. In the seventy years since “Zoo Quest” first aired, the genre it helped create has had to reckon with the effects of the climate crisis—and to figure out how to address such hot-button issues onscreen. By highlighting conservation efforts that have been successful, the best of these programs affirm our continued agency in the planet's future. “One thing I got from ‘Mammals' was not pure doom,” Schwartz says. “There are some options here. We have choices to make.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Mammals” (2024)“Zoo Quest” (1954-63)“Are We Changing Planet Earth?” (2006)“The Snow Leopard,” by Peter Matthiessen“My Octopus Teacher” (2020)“Life on Our Planet” (2023)“I Like to Get High at Night and Think About Whales,” by Samantha IrbyNew episodes drop every Thursday.

David Attenborough's new documentary argues that our oceans have been underexplored and undervalued. Could protecting our seas not only help biodiversity, but fix the climate too?Keith Scholey, one of the directors of "Ocean With David Attenborough", tells The Climate Question how the world's seas are at a critical turning point. Many countries have pledged to protect a third of the world's oceans, and the film's creators hope it will push global leaders to deliver on their promise at this year's UN conference on oceans. The documentary also includes some of the most detailed footage ever captured of bottom trawling, a widespread fishing method that damages the seabed. In this episode we ask why we know so little about the ocean? And why the largest part of our planet been under-protected for so long?

Research from the Ocean Discovery League says just 0.001% of the world's deep seafloor has ever been seen by humans.We speak to lead author and deep sea explorer Dr Katy Croff Bell and marine biologist Dr Anna Gebruk from the University of Edinburgh, to ask whether we should be making more effort to investigate our oceans.As events take place to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, presenter Victoria Gill also speaks to Professor David Edgerton from King's College London to discuss what impact the Second World War had on scientific research and innovation.We're also joined by Penny Sarchet, managing editor at New Scientist, to look through some of the top science stories you might have missed this week. And as David Attenborough celebrates his 99th birthday with the release of his latest film Ocean, we take a trip through the archives to hear some of his finest moments from more than 70 years of broadcasting.Presenter: Victoria Gill Producers: Clare Salisbury, Dan Welsh, Jonathan Blackwell Editor: Martin Smith Production Co-ordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth

Ocean recovery is not just possible, it's already happening in places where we've taken action. In this episode, I dive into Ocean with David Attenborough, a documentary that reminds us of the ocean's incredible resilience. From thriving coral reefs to fish populations bouncing back, the film offers powerful proof that when we give marine ecosystems space and protection, they can heal faster than we think. It's a rare example of ocean storytelling that balances urgency with genuine optimism. Bottom trawling, however, threatens that progress. The documentary pulls back the curtain on this destructive fishing method, revealing how vast swaths of ocean floor are scraped clean, alongside the fish, sharks, and invertebrates that live there. The fishing industry's backlash has been swift, but the film doesn't dwell on blame. Instead, it shows us that even in damaged habitats, life can return when given the chance. The hope is real—but only if we act now.
