A powerful episode with the wonderfully eloquent Derek Gow. A few passages were particularly striking: "There are plenty people farming. We don't need any more farmers. What we need are more sanctuaries where other kinds of life can make their homes."
And, speaking of the extermination of beavers:
"Our pursuit of beavers was ruthless. Yet ancient cultures understood their importance. Leaders of the Zoroastrian religion in Iran over two thousand years ago forbade killing the 'water dogs,' warning that deserts would advance if they were destroyed."
He also cites loads of harrowing, eye-opening statistics.

Thank you for your compassion and activism, Alpha. I really enjoyed listening to this.
Glad you liked it :)
