The British Uplands Podcast: Episode 2/6 Aug 21, 2023

Show notes

Our carbon-rich peatlands are now exposed to a changing climate and the impacts of human intervention. Many want to see more trees in the uplands, but why aren't there already?

In episode 2 of the British Uplands podcast, we explore the history of the uplands, both culturally and ecologically. Who lives and works here and how do they feel about the future of the uplands.

Between ambitious tree planting targets, wind farm construction and efforts to restore damaged peatland, the British Uplands Podcast sees conservation journalists Byron Pace and Sarah Roberts explore the conflict between these difficult choices.

This is not a sit-down studio interview podcast. Over the coming weeks, we'll join Byron and Sarah as they travel the country and get out on the hills, meeting guests ranging from soil scientists, ecologists and rewilding enthusiasts to gamekeepers, chefs, crofters and deer managers.

Episode one of six to be released weekly.

Presented by Byron Pace & Sarah Roberts, co-produced and edited by David Shanks. An M.H. Studios production

#231 Vincent van der Merwe: Land of the cheetah Aug 08, 2023

Show notes

In this episode I am diving back to the series 'From the Field' which started in episode 200. So much of the full interviews undertaken during that time never got aired as we paired it down to three highly produced shows, but we recorded hours of conversation. So we are dipping into achieve to bring you these un-edited versions. You have already heard from conservation biologist Willem Brier Louw and concession operator of Zambeze Delta Safaris Mark Haldane, and on this episode, I sit down along with Tyler Sharp, editor in chief of Modern Huntsman to speak with and Vincent van der Merwe, National Geographic Explorer and national cheetah meta-population manager.

#228 From The Frontlines: John Banovich, Annette & Alex Oelofse Jun 27, 2023

Show notes

You are about to hear the second in the series 'From The Frontlines', presented by Rocky Talkie. In this series I get in the field with people making a tangible difference to wildlife conservation on the ground

I am joined by artist and conservationist John Banovich along with Annette Oelofse, and her son Alex, who was on the show last week. John is a globally acclaimed wildlife artist, and I encourage you to check out his work on his website or on instagram. He was our guest editor for the African volume of Modern Huntsman, and the incredible black rhino on the cover, was painted by John. Alex needs no introduction having just been on the show, but Annette Oelofse is one of the unsung heroes of conservation in Africa. The mother of rhinos, she has a remarkable life story, and has dedicated every waking moment to the conservation of wildlife.
