I tell a story about how Jord and I narrowly avoided getting shot before introducing Tanya Loos – local treasure and legendary naturalist – for a deep and meaningful chat about wild life, and all life. We cover:

How to be a nature positive pet owner Are cats evil? How to save a bunch of lives Gardens as habitat The housing crisis facing possums (and other critters) How to recklessly pursue your passion and make it your profession GETTING THE ANIMALS ON THE ARK How to avoid roadkill (even frogs) Bee feelings + monogamous lizards The intersection between conservation, permaculture & animal welfare Patreon Qs 24/7 nature connection Beetle Pace
