"British saltmashes accumulate about 700,000 tonnes of carbon a year alone, and in the top 10cm of soil saltmarshes hold about 2.3 million tonnes of carbon."

Ben Goldsmith is joined by Angus Garbutt, a coastal ecologist and world expert on saltmarshes. In this episode Ben and Angus discuss why these mysterious, alien places are absolutely vital. So much saltmarsh habitat in Britain and around the world has been destroyed, but now ambitious efforts are underway to restore it.

The smell of a dead animal, a carcase, an animal that's just been killed, is something you'll never ever forget and it's that that sticks with you. It's that that gives you the energy to continually try and do my best to put a hold and a stop to what is still happening out in South Africa.

In this episode of Rewilding the World Ben Goldsmith talks to England cricket legend Kevin Pietersen. Kevin is now devoting his considerable energy and lifelong love of nature to saving Africa’s rhinos from extinction at the hands of poachers serving the illegal trade in rhino horn.

"Up in Oregon, sixty miles from that old dam site, adult Chinook salmon were swimming in the Klamath River. It happened in ten days, when our scientists were saying it might take ten years."

The largest dam removals in history just took place on California’s Klamath River. In the latest episode of Rewilding the World Ben Goldsmith talks with Chuck Bonham, Director of California Fish and Wildlife, about this iconic moment, and about the recovery of salmon, beavers, wolves and other wildlife in the Golden State.

This podcast was recorded before the wildfires happened in California.
