On this week's Nature News, Ryan & Nadia revisit 2 stories from the last 6 months to give an update on their progress OR their complete u-turn. Nadia then gives us all a nature rundown of the Labour governments budget & what this could or couldn't mean for biodiversity in the UK.

Listener Note:

We got some very handy feedback that our audio had been on the quieter side recently so we did some investigating & made some adaptations......basically, it should be louder now so be careful on those ears!

Land reform isn't a new topic for us to cover on Into The Wild but celebrating some good news on the theme is! Ryan shares a story from California about the Yurok tribe & Nadia gives us the low down & some thoughts about a nuclear power plant in the south of England.

If you're in the UK, it's not secret that spring has sprung with some unusually hot & dry weather. Whilst we often blame this on the climate crisis, do we actually know what's causing it? Well, luckily Nadia wondered this & found the news explaining it. Ryan then shares some news about river blockages throughout Europe & how their numbers are, every so slightly, dwindling.

Look, we all want to head towards green energy.....right? But are we too quick to say yes before we've looked at the impact of producing it? Nadia unpacks a story about a huge wind farm that could likely be devastating for seabirds. Ryan then takes us over to Nepal to share some shocking facts about air pollution & a recent survey of snow leopards.
