        <![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.twentyessex.com/people/monica-feria-tinta/">Monica Feria-Tinta </a>is an international barrister, globally recognised for her groundbreaking work protecting the environment. She has won many awards and is author of the book A Barrister For The Earth published by <a href="https://www.faber.co.uk/author/monica-feria-tinta/?srsltid=AfmBOor6CsIuSKg3pmb8DglHxi977MWMt-ZgaaYpjiPq6BpFXisxRkEp">Faber &amp; Faber.</a> Before I recorded this podcast with Monica I saw her speak at a sold out event with the <a href="https://www.shaftesburybookfestival.com">Reading The Land Festival in Shaftesbury</a>. I was blown away by her intellect, passion and commitment. I sat there thinking thank goodness we have Monica in the world. Her achievements are huge. I am sure she will continue to make a big difference for the world and nature in particular.  Only after Monica had finished her endless signings with <a href="https://www.foldedorset.com">Folde Bookshop in Shaftesbury</a> were we able to sit down and chat. As you will hear, Monica's commitment is predicated upon a deep love for nature. Her story of connection is beautiful and adorable. It is my great privilege to share it with you. Thank you.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><a href="https://ellainthearctic.co.uk">Ella Hibbert</a> is undertaking an extraordinary voyage - the first ever solo circumnavigation of the Arctic Circle. It is incredible to have the opportunity to speak with her. Ella's experience in the natural world is unique. To be able to speak with someone who spends a great deal of time on their own in cold seas was mind blowing. As you will hear, Ella is exceptional on many levels. Not just for her obvious sailing skill but also for her thoughtful insight into her relations with the world around her. Ella is absolutely wonderful. She is mesmerising and intuitive. I am deeply honoured and thrilled to bring you this podcast. </p>]]>

In this podcast Philly shares her experience in extraordinary detail. As she spoke I felt I was with her in the moment. This is a gorgeous conversation about beautiful moments. It will give you food for thought. Philly's wonderful ability to express something we don't have words for is compelling listening. What she said stayed with me. You'll notice Philly's reference to Avatar. It is not surprising this film affected her because <a href="https://suzannesimard.com">tree legend Dr. Suzanna Simard </a>influenced James Cameron's Tree of Souls. Enjoy! </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>This is Ep. 2 of the Nature Talks With Humans bonus VE Day season, <strong>Under Wartime Skies. </strong>When speaking with Allen Chalk and Ron Ives for their podcasts about connecting with nature, conversation turned to the second world war. What Ron and Allen said was like gold dust. I could not sit on their wonderful descriptions of life during the war. I'm delighted to bring you Ron and Allen's VE Day podcasts in this VE Day bonus season.
