When it comes to England's environment and our landscape, few people in the country are as important as Tony Juniper. Since 2019, he has been the chairman of Natural England, the public body for ensuring that the country's natural environment is protected and enhanced. Not a small job, as we are sure you'll agree.He is also a recognised authority on parrots. More on that later.• Listen to Country Life podcast on Apple Podcasts• Listen to Country Life podcast on Spotify• Listen to Country Life podcast on AudibleAs well as managing Natural England, Tony is a prolific public speaker and author. Om Saturday May 17th, 2025, he'll be at London's newest literary festival, Fleet Street Quarter Festival of Words, in conversation with former leader of the Green Party Natalie Bennett, to discuss their books Just Earth and Change Everything, respectively. Tickets are available here.We spoke to Tony about Just Earth, and it was enlightening to hear his words on how climate degradation is as much a social issue as it is an environmental one. So much has been said about the changing climate, that it was fascinating to talk to someone with so much experience in the sector, and someone who has witnessed so much decline in his own lifetime, as well as someone who has experience and success in putting things right. Experience that he has shared with a wide variety of people and organisations, from Friends of the Earth to The King himself — a man he refers to as 'one of the most influential environmentalists of all time'.We also talk about parrots. Tony worked at BirdLife international and is a formally trained zoologist and conservationist. His book, Spix's Macaw: The Race to Save the World's Rarest Bird is a classic; so much so that it was adapted in part to create the animated film Rio.It's a fascinating chat, and it was a real privilege to get the chance to speak to him.Episode creditsHost: James FisherGuest: Tony JuniperEditor and producer: Toby KeelMusic: JuliusH via Pixabay Hosted on Acast.

Tony Juniper and Mya-Rose Craig bring together two powerful perspectives on the interconnectedness of equity and the environment. Tony, an esteemed environmentalist and author, draws on decades of experience advocating for a balance between human needs and ecological preservation. His work demonstrates how fairness – whether in resource distribution, climate justice, or community empowerment – is essential for achieving lasting ecological progress.Mya-Rose Craig, also known as ‘Birdgirl', amplifies the voices of young people and underrepresented communities in the fight against environmental degradation. As a prominent advocate for diversity in nature conservation, she underscores the necessity of inclusive action – ensuring that all communities, especially those most impacted by environmental challenges, are part of the solution.Together, Tony and Mya-Rose offer a compelling vision for how equity can drive environmental change, providing both practical insights and inspirational calls to action for a fairer, greener planet. Let's reimagine a future where fairness drives global sustainability.Speakers:Tony Juniper, Environmentalist, authorMya-Rose Craig, Environmental activist, speaker (RSA Fellow)Become an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/ueembFollow RSA Events on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thersaorg/Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theRSAorgDonate to the RSA: https://thersa.co/3XPiI1kLike RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theRSAorg/Listen to RSA Events podcasts: https://bit.ly/35EyQYUJoin our Fellowship: https://www.thersa.org/fellowship/join

Tony Juniper, Chair of Natural England, shares with us a powerful thesis: we cannot fight the climate and ecological crisis without first addressing social inequality. Not content with just highlighting these connections, Tony describes the system change necessary to move us all forward; the new political philosophy of Thrivalism.

Apesar de já ter definida a Estratégia Nacional de Conservação da Natureza e da Biodiversidade, certo é que a preservação da biodiversidade e dos ecossistemas em Portugal continua a ser uma área da política pública que só merece atenção política em efemérides relacionadas.   Quais os principais desafios que se colocam à conservação da natureza? Paulo Lucas, da ZERO, regressa ao podcast para dar resposta a esta e outras questões. Referência do episódio:- Livro “What Has Nature Ever Done For Us?”, de Tony Juniper.

It was World Bicycle Day on Saturday. Around 300 cyclists took part in a rally and marked the opening of a new cycle lane that runs the southern part of the runway to the southern part of bayside road. Transport Minister Paul Balban was pleased - but also aware he's not always Mr Popular.Monday was World Environment Day. The chair of Natural England, Tony Juniper, told us environmental concerns and objectives need to be integrated into every aspect of life, including how we construct our buildings and towns. He spoke to us ahead of his keynote address at the sustainability event, Aspire, on Friday.As we approach the summer months, more of us are holding BBQs and there has already been an outbreak of salmonella.

All week we're taking a closer look at the UK's fishing industry. It was supposed to be a major beneficiary of Brexit. However fishing fleets across the country say although they can now catch more fish overall, current conditions mean they are still struggling. We report from Fraserburgh Fish Market where fishermen say one of the biggest problems they face is staff shortages. Scottish fishing boats were forced to leave 15 thousand tonnes of small haddock in the sea last year due to a reduction in on shore processing workers. The Northern Ireland Fish Producers Organisation wants the government to delay the introduction of new visas: instead of existing transit visas, which have enabled international fishermen to work on UK boats, in future they'll need a 'skilled worker' visas which includes passing an intermediate English language test. The debate around how we use land, is becoming ever more complicated, as homes, food, energy and mitigating climate change, are all pressing concerns. Recent figures show arable land prices rose 12 percent in 2022, partly due to higher grain prices following the war in Ukraine but there's also been a trend for more institutions to invest in land,. We hear from Tony Juniper, head of the Environment Agency and the Green Alliance who are publishing a report on communities and land use. Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

The big idea for this week's guest, Natural England chair Tony Juniper, is 'nature recovery'. His remit covers promoting the benefits of green corridors including adaptation to climate change and flood risk as well as public well-being and carbon capture."One of the most important shifts in the discussion over the last ten years has been a move away from this idea that in order to grow the economy and improve conditions for people, that we have to sacrifice the environment and of course, nothing could be further from the truth," he says.He explains why "biodiversity" has yet to cut through with the public or "achieve prominence in the policy discussion" as a "global emergency" and how the fact that most people seem to think it is a "washing powder" is "not helpful"!With a new Prime Minister Liz Truss installed, Juniper explains how preserving the natural world is one of the most powerful ways to make progress in the Conservative's 'levelling up' agenda.He says:"For quite a lot of people, levelling up, job creation, bringing economic prosperity to those parts of the country that need it most, it's sometimes looked at as a different thing to restoring the natural world, when in fact these two things need to go hand in hand."If levelling up is going to be successful and if the environmental programme is going to be successful these two things are mutually interdependent."Imagine the outcomes we could get if we had the engineers, the town planners and the architects, the ecologists and the landscape architects on the same plan, rather than one group leading the discussion and then the others coming in at the end to complain that it's not green enough which is what usually happens!"Whilst acknowledging the extent of the environmental challenges, Juniper is optimistic that "we have the tools we need" to meet them:"Most environmentalists who think about this...conclude if you're not an optimist, we're possibly going to squander the last chance we've got...We have to paint a picture which is about possibility rather than catastrophe".

Why on earth are we in such a mess over water supply? A new hosepipe ban begins today in some parts of the UK, with some complaining that the bans are an outrage given the level of wastage from the companies but others suggesting that there ought to be wider bans to protect our rivers which they say are dying as we drain them dry. There's also going to be a meeting of the water firms and Natural England and the Environment Agency to discuss declaring a drought in some parts of England -- the National Drought Group as they are known could seize some control over the short term response. Today's Justin Webb spoke with the chair of Natural England, Tony Juniper, and Labour peer and former chief executive of the Environment Agency, Baroness Barbara Young about the possible short and long term solutions.

Trees have memories. They have wisdom. They cooperate in communities of immense complexity, communicating underground through a huge web of fungi, at the centre of which lie the Mother Trees: the mysterious, powerful entities that nurture their kin and sustain the forest.That may sound initially like New Age mumbo-jumbo. But these are the core findings of a scientific revolution that has been taking place in our understanding of trees. In this week's episode world renowned scientist Suzanne Simard speaks to Tony Juniper about uncovering startling truths about trees.

Master communicator Marge Anderson works at the Wisconsin-based nonprofit Slipstream, Inc., where she shapes education to drive behavior change around energy. She chaired the US Green Building Council in 2015, and was in Paris for the climate talks. She says that her working-class upbringing did not suggest a path to sustainability but it has informed her leadership in the field. She is an optimist (and cites British environmental leader Tony Juniper on this: “it’s too late for pessimism”), but she feels great urgency and is startlingly succinct: “On climate, we’ve got nine and a half years left. On equity, we’re 400 years too late.”

According to some scientific predictions, human civilisation could completely collapse by 2050 if we don’t take drastic action to stop climate change now. So is capitalism responsible for the impending climate crisis, and should we abandon our economic system before it’s too late? Or is capitalism actually history’s most effective way of solving our problems - including the pressing challenge of climate change?Arguing in favour of the motion "To Stop Climate Collapse, We Must End Capitalism" were Guardian journalist and polemicist George Monbiot and Extinction Rebellion's Farhana Yamin.Arguing against the motion were Chair of the Energy Transitions Commission Adair Turner and sustainability adviser Tony Juniper.The debate was chaired by BBC journalist and broadcaster Ritula Shah.

Now, he chairman of the United Kingdom’s Natural England, the national conservation agency — by contrast the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is headed by a former coal industry lobbyist. He joins Earth911 to talk about his new book, Rainforest: Dispatches From the Earth’s Most Vital Frontlines. It is an exploration of the role rainforests play in the global environment and Juniper’s many activist accomplishments. We particularly recalled the Mahogony is Murder campaign that dramatically reduced illegal logging in the Amazon basin. Juniper has been at the forefront of environmental movements since they first began.The rainforests are “Earth’s lungs,” Juniper explains. They help to exchange water between the soil and atmosphere, as well as host the widest range of species on the planet. The loss of rainforests threatens humanity’s ability to discover and learn from nature’s mechanism through “biomimicry.” He shares how the planet will suffer from systemic illness in the planet’s body — as ice collapses in the South, oceans will rise on all continents, for example. We can learn from Juniper, who has the ear of Britain’s Prince Charles, a leader of efforts to preserve rainforests in South America and the Asia-Pacific region. His experience can teach people everywhere how to get involved and make a positive impact for the Earth.All is not lost, Juniper counsels, but the hour for action is passing. He sees governments, businesses, and non-governmental organizations working together to reduce the carbon emissions and believes humanity may have awakened to climate threats.
