This week's guest is Dr Tony Whitbread, independent ecologist and former Chief Executive of Sussex Wildlife Trust. Tony joined me to talk about rewilding - what wild means in a modern 21st country, and how it relates to other kinds of nature conservation that continue and which have gone before. We explored the various scales at which we can think about rewilding, the difference between applying in urban and non-urban areas, the obstacles we’ll face in linking up the core areas of wild space and bringing them into our cities - and how we can overcome them, both practically and in terms of how to communicate the benefits with the wider population.Talking points include:-Rethinking value-What ragwort can tell us about how to communicate rewilding -How far does a policy like biodiversity net gain get us without enforcement?-Nature recovery networks as a framework for thinking about outcomes-Regenerative economics as a guide to post-CV recovery-What George Monbiot gets wrong about rewildingTony's 3 good things:Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari - via bookstore.orgGeorge Monbiot on Twitter - https://twitter.com/georgemonbiotThe Mens and Ebernoe Common nature reserves See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Urban & rural rewilding: nature recovery networks, with Dr Tony Whitbread

Simon Boyle

Planet Pod talks bats, bison and beavers in Sussex - a rewilding discussion with Sussex Wildlife Trust recorded on location at Ebernoe Common. Join the team as they dodge the late summer rain and walk and talk about re-wilding. What it is - bottom up or top down, the case for wolves and beavers in the UK and tips on what you can do in your plot. Dr Tony Whitbread (SWT) and Simon Boyle (Argyll Environmental) took shelter with Amanda and Jim in the porch of a country churchyard to chat about how re-wilding really works, what it means and its many benefits.  Then, when the rain stopped, they took a leisurely stroll round the 80 hectares of Ebernoe Common. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
