Welcome to Into The Wild's new mini series, Journey Back to Namibia. Across 4 episodes, Ryan & Nadia will explore the impacts of the climate crisis in rural Namibia & share words, experiences & stories from those most affected. We start at the beginning.

Fires, floods, storms & hurricanes. Severe weather patterns & events, brought on or exacerbated by the climate crisis often make headline news, but there is one that is missed. It's subtle but intense. It impacts people hugely, but slower. Droughts.

In episode 1, as the title suggests, Ryan & Nadia guide you through Namibia & give context to this incredible country to help set the scene for the journey.

Guest appearances: Maxi Louis (Director of NACSO - Namibian Association for Community Based Natural Resource Management Support Organisations)

Nerds, it's time for your weekly Nature News catch up & here's what to expect from week 2!

This week we have a focus on the UK government & it's performance on pledges & commitments for a better, greener & ultimately "safer" future, but how are they doing? Then beavers were in the news with some rumours that Labour might scrap the Tories plans to "green light" the release of this habitat creators back in our rivers........could that be true?
