Each week in the Wild Systems Podcast, we look at a conservation effort from somewhere around the world. We dive into the ecosystem and uncover the systems that drive it to endure in a changing world. We look at how conservationists are putting their finger on the scale to influence those systems, and the true data behind whether or not that effort is succeeding. I want to ask: Why do conservation efforts succeed or fail? How is the wilderness there being impacted? And how would the effort look from the perspective of those wild creatures we're trying to protect and preserve?

What is our immune system, and how does it work? A vast array of cells, proteins and chemicals spring into action whenever our bodies are damaged, but immunity is not something you can see, touch, or feel.

Humans may be the most disease-ridden animals on the planet. Professor John Trowsdale shows how the immune system protects us, and how our bodies invest huge resources to keep it running.
