Podcast appearances and mentions of Stephen Thomas

Fernando Mateo facilitates a dialogue regarding the murder of Austin Metcalf, a Texas high school student killed by Karmelo Anthony during a track meet altercation. Mateo and his guest, Stephen Thomas, scrutinize the case to argue that the tragedy should be viewed as a matter of right versus wrong rather than a racial conflict, despite the differing races of the victim and the defendant. The conversation highlights a critique of the defendant's family, alleging they exploited racial tensions to raise significant funds via GoFundMe for personal gain rather than seeking a fair plea deal for their son.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Nature Recovery Podcast, Stephen Thomas is joined by Nat Duffus and Harrison Carter to unpack the often confusing world of biodiversity finance. Harrison introduces his new paper, Demystifying Biodiversity Finance, and explains why conservationists, ecologists and investors need a shared language to make sense of bonds, loans, equity, credits and risk.The conversation explores: what biodiversity finance actually means in practice  how bonds can support nature recovery, and where they fall short  why project-level, social and ecological risks matter for investors  the importance of monitoring, reporting and verification  why scepticism is not the same as negativity when trying to finance nature The episode makes a strong case for honest, practical collaboration between conservation and finance, with the long-term goal of creating more effective and more durable support for nature recovery.You can find the paper here:https://naturerecovery.ox.ac.uk/outputs/demystifying-biodiversity-finance/The Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery is interested in promoting a wide variety of views and opinions on nature recovery from researchers and practitioners.The views, opinions and positions expressed within this podcast are those of the speakers alone, they do not purport to reflect the opinions or views of the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery, or its researchers.The work of the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery is made possible thanks to the support of the Leverhulme Trust.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Nature Recovery Podcast, Stephen Thomas speaks with Lee White about a remarkable life working across science, conservation, and government in central Africa. Lee reflects on growing up in Uganda, studying rainforest ecosystems in West Africa and Gabon, and how his scientific work led him into national park creation, forest policy, and international climate negotiations.The conversation explores why the gap between scientific evidence and political action remains so wide, and why forests need to be understood not only as ecosystems but as economic and geopolitical systems. Lee explains how Gabon tried to make standing forests economically valuable through protected areas, sustainable forestry, and REDD+, and why that model faced both successes and setbacks.They also discuss the Congo Basin as a global climate system, the importance of local and international science capacity, and the role of nature in human health, resilience, and wellbeing. The episode ends with a broader reflection on what nature recovery really means, from restoring cities and farmland to thinking at a planetary scale.The Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery is interested in promoting a wide variety of views and opinions on nature recovery from researchers and practitioners.The views, opinions and positions expressed within this podcast are those of the speakers alone, they do not purport to reflect the opinions or views of the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery, or its researchers.The work of the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery is made possible thanks to the support of the Leverhulme Trust.

Send us Fan MailHosted by Wallerand Bazin, a DPhil researcher in Geography and the Environment at Oxford whose work focuses on the political ecologies of climate and conservation in heritage landscapes. In this episode of the Nature Recovery Podcast, Stephen Thomas and Wallerand Bazin speak with Guy Shrubsole about land ownership, stewardship, and the politics of nature recovery in Britain. Shrubsole traces the ideas behind Who Owns England?, The Lost Rainforest of Britain, and The Lie of the Land, and explains how his thinking developed through environmental campaigning, archival research, and fieldwork.The conversation explores why land ownership remains so concentrated in England, why “stewardship” is often more rhetoric than reality, and why public funding for nature should be tied to stronger accountability. Shrubsole also discusses community land ownership in Scotland, the case for more transparency in land registry data, and how nature recovery needs to be understood through history, justice, and power as well as ecology.The Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery is interested in promoting a wide variety of views and opinions on nature recovery from researchers and practitioners.The views, opinions and positions expressed within this podcast are those of the speakers alone, they do not purport to reflect the opinions or views of the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery, or its researchers.The work of the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery is made possible thanks to the support of the Leverhulme Trust.

Send us a textIn this episode Elizabeth Bock speaks with Dr Molly Grace (University of Oxford), co-chair of the IUCN Green Status of Species working group. The conversation explains how the Green Status complements the Red List by measuring species recovery, not just extinction risk. Molly unpacks the three components of recovery (distribution, viability, functionality), explains how the assessment quantifies the impact of conservation actions, and outlines how the Green Status can be used for national reporting under the Global Biodiversity Framework.Key takeawaysThe Green Status answers a question the Red List does not: what does recovery look like, and how much has conservation achieved so far.Recovery is measured using three components: distribution (pre-impact vs current range), viability (extinction risk), and functionality (ability to perform ecological roles).The assessment includes a counterfactual element: it estimates what recovery would look like without past conservation, making conservation impact visible.Baselines matter and are contested; the Green Status uses a pre-impact baseline within the past 500 years to allow standardised comparison.Early priorities include improving taxonomic coverage (beyond charismatic vertebrates) and piloting national reporting with countries such as Indonesia and South Africa.The Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery is interested in promoting a wide variety of views and opinions on nature recovery from researchers and practitioners.

Check out his first appearance on episode 394 of Boundless Body Radio!Stephen Thomas, known online as the UK Carnivore, debunks and dispels many popular myths about nutrition, fitness, and aging. In the past, while eating high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet, Stephen was a semi-professional soccer player, won a singles tennis tournament, and had run some middle-distance races, but his health was poor, as he had experienced frequent colds, and struggled with several other health issues.Stephen eventually learned about low-carbohydrate diets, and he decided to try it himself. The switch was a big improvement from eating a high-carbohydrate diet that he had been eating his entire life. Still, on low-carb, results were not as good as he wanted. Stephen continued to lower his dietary carbohydrate intake, and he moved toward being a fitter athlete, and is much healthier on a carnivore diet.On carnivore, his body fat percentage dropped and his muscle mass increased; his pre-diabetes, athlete's foot, and facial and skin rashes are gone; and he has more energy and is stronger than he's ever been.Find Stephen at-https://www.theukcarnivore.com/IG- @theukcarnivoreYT- @Coach Stephen BSc HonsPodcast- The UK Carnivore ExperienceThe Low Carb School- https://www.skool.com/low-carb/aboutAmazon- Guide to Blood Tests: In the Context of a Low-Carb, Ketogenic, or Carnivore Way of EatingFind Boundless Body at- myboundlessbody.com Book a session with us here!
