Description
“We really are focused on prioritising those species that are about to blank out. We must make sure that on our watch that doesn’t happen.”Welcome to a new series of Rewilding the World with Ben Goldsmith. In this first episode Ben speaks to Penny Becker, Vice President of Island Conservation. Island Conservation works to remove invasive invertebrate species from island ecosystems. Overwhelmingly, the majority of extinctions that have taken place over the last few centuries have occurred on islands. By removing these invasive species it gives an island’s ecosystem a chance of recovery. Ben Goldsmith is a rewilding enthusiast and activist based in the UK. In this podcast he is joined by people behind some of the most exciting and ambitious rewilding projects around the world. Every year we hear stories about wildlife being destroyed. However, there are rays of hope as across the globe people are working to give nature a hand to recover and rejuvenate. This podcast is produced by The Podcast Coach.
