Saving Our Wild Isles – with Deborah Meaden, Nadeem Perera and Megan McCubbin

UK nature can be incredible but it’s massively under threat. In this special episode of Call of the Wild from WWF-UK, Cel Spellman is joined by some amazing guests to work out what needs to be done to Save Our Wild Isles. Deborah Meaden, Investor and Dragon, tackles why industries need to get greener; Nadeem Perera , TV presenter, author, activist and co-founder of the birdwatching collective Flock Together shares why access to nature needs to work for everyone; and zoologist and TV presenter Megan McCubbin , explains why our country isn’t as green and wild as it seems. All these issues are explored in a brand-new documentary on BBC iPlayer called Saving Our Wild Isles, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, and produced by Silverback Films. It shares stories of passionate people across the UK who are working to bring nature back from the brink, and shows that the scale and pace of change so urgently needed to save nature in the UK is not only possible but is already happening. The documentary was commissioned by WWF, the RSPB and the National Trust, who have recently launched their first major campaign together calling for urgent action to halt the destruction of nature and help it recover. And a huge thank you to the members of the People’s Assembly for Nature who we heard in this episode.
