Hype or Hope? The Promise of Restoration and Rewilding

What can be done with environments that have become degraded through human activity, and how can you set right what has gone wrong? That is the question that Brit Garner and Carla Brown explore in this episode of the podcast. They hear about the problems, challenges - and solutions - on land and in marine environments. Dr Yvonne Walz, the the head of the Environmental Vulnerability and Ecosystem Services Division at United Nations University in Germany explains the possibilities of rewilding and restoration. Carla also speaks to Sebastian Villasante, a Lecturer in Environmental Economics at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain about his personal and professional passion for rewilding marine environments
