Episode 27 - Rewilding the Ocean

The ocean - which has always held mystery for us human beings - also holds powerful solutions to climate change. By rewilding our oceans and protecting the forests of the sea, we can bring back essential biodiversity, reduce the worst of climate change, and provide a sustainable source of food for humans and many ocean species. In a world of discouraging environmental news, stories of the proven successes and future potential of rewilding the ocean are a beacon of hope.

Charles has dedicated decades to conserving land and ocean, and made his name as an author and environmental journalist and editor. His book The End of The Line and the award-winning major documentary film of the same name highlighted overfishing as a global problem.
