In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast, host Isabelle Sparrow and producer Brad Ingham are joined by expert guests, Lottie Trewick, Research Analyst at nature restoration company Nattergal, and Steve Micklewright, CEO of Scottish charity Trees for Life to discuss the importance of boosting biodiversity through UK rewilding initiatives.

Listen now to hear:

• How re-introducing key species like beavers, otters, lynx and wild cattle can have a huge impact on whole ecosystems.
• About the enormous funding gap for nature recovery globally, and how natural capital markets like those traded by Nattergal can bring in much needed contributions to meet this deficit.
• How important engagement is to ensure local people, landowners and farmers feel included in plans and will support them.
• What you can do to bring more nature into your local area.
