Protecting the oceans with Charles Clover

"We have started to get a few things right, why can't we just watch the things we have done right and do more of them?"
In the latest episode of Rewilding the World Ben Goldsmith speaks with legendary author and oceans campaigner Charles Clover who also co-founded the Blue Marine Foundation.
Charles' seminal book, The End of the Line, marked a turning point in our understanding of the collapse of marine wildlife when it was released two decades ago. Finally now, meaningful efforts are underway across the world to restore sanity and the health of our oceans.
Charles' new book, Rewilding the Sea, describes how and where these things are happening. You might be surprised to learn that the UK is an oceans conservation leader!

Rebuilding the natural treasures of Mauritius with Carl Jones

"Over a period of 10 years we were able to rear in captivity 331 Kestrels that we released back into nature."
In the latest episode of Rewilding the World Ben Goldsmith speaks with legendary conservationist Carl Jones about the island of Mauritius. Carl famously led efforts to save a variety of species. These included the Mauritius kestrel which was on the brink of going the way of the dodo, as well as a bunch of landscape-scale rewilding projects in Mauritius and its surrounding islets.
Carl describes Mauritius as it must have been when Europeans first arrived on the island; forests of ebony, palm savannas grazed by herds of giant tortoises, dodos ambling down the beach to greet the new arrivals, and a cacophony of strange and marvellous bird and reptile species. Now, inspired by Carl, Mauritius seems set to begin rebuilding these natural treasures.
