Alexx Stuart recently interviewed me for their wonderful podcast Low Tox Life. We had a great chat about all things nature and its role in our lives. We also delved into how community-led conservationWhy is animal conservation important? Animal conservation is important, because animals are the only mechanism to create biodiversity, which is the mechanism that creates a habitable planet for humans. Without animals, the energy from today’s plants (algae, trees, flowers etc) will eventually reach the atmosphere and ocean, much of it as carbon. The quantity of this plant-based waste is so More is becoming the key to unblocking the stalemate we feel ourselves in today. My thanks go to Alexx and her team for hosting me and for their lovely support.

“This show is about ecology and I guarantee you will feel more hopeful about the state of the planet, more deeply understanding of the importance of observation of our nature and being in nature to your health than you did at the start of this hour. Simon Mustoe, an ecologist of 30 years has so many incredinble stories to share. The most mindblowing for me was understanding how a particular set of grasshoppers became obese when they removed one thing from their environment.Super fascinating to help us understand ourselves and our planet better.” – Alexx Stuart, Low Tox Life.

It’s invisible to many, but it’s real, and it’s powerful. In this show, we’ll explore how reconnecting with nature isn’t just good for the planet – it’s the key to our own happiness and well-being.
From backyard wildlife conservation to lessons from eels and blue gropers, we’ll uncover the surprising ways that working in harmony with our beautiful world can solve global crises and even reduce our cost of living.
