JAMES ALEXANDER - Can we prevent the mass extinction of nature? The race is on.

Are we heading for a mass nature extinction? Nature is in a massive decline, and we, as a society, have become too disconnected from nature to even notice the drastic changes. Listen to James and Jeremy discuss how to become more aware of these changes happening around us and even better – what is being done to help prevent it. Can the collective power drive the change needed to reverse the way we are heading? listen now to find out.
James talks us through his career and work with WWF and lets us into where his passion for saving tomorrow’s planet comes from. This reveals a story about how James rediscovered a bird species that was once thought to be extinct. The episode goes on and explains the #VoiceForThePlanet coalition and #TheRaceIsOn campaign. Both outstanding initiatives James has co-founded to create a nature positive world by 2030. To finish, they discuss how YOU can make a difference to make sure WE win this race.
