Podcast: Checking in with Dr Mark Avery

Here at The War on Wildlife Project we were thinking that as us
campaigners, conservationists and activists can’t get out to meet and
see each other now, how about creating something to bring the
conservation community together – everyone from individuals to
grassroots organisations to larger charities – something that reminds
us all that we’re still out there, still working, but that also shows
the human side of things during this COVID-19 crisis.

An ongoing series of
short podcast conversations we could think of as ‘check-ins’ (as in
‘we’re checking in to make sure we’re all okay’) – chats about how
we’re getting on, how we’re adapting as campaigners, how being out
in Nature is helping us cope.

Now, we appreciate
that everyone has Facebook, Twitter, their own blogs even, but
perhaps bringing everyone together like this in one place could
really create an interesting set of viewpoints/tips/different
thinking – and maybe even keep us from feeling alone…

That’s the idea and we’re very grateful to author, conservationist, campaigner and all-around good guy Dr Mark Avery for saying he thought it was worth trying, and for being first up to kick this new series off.

“…and we do think the licences [Natural Resources Wales] issued are terrible – they’re awful…they’re unlawful, we believe…they’re just rubbish…”
