Mary Colwell Takes on Conservation and Nature Education

Mary Colwell, a campaigner, writer, and producer, discusses her journey into conservation starting from her time at the BBC Natural History Unit. Concerned about the lack of in-depth appreciation for nature, especially among younger generations, she emphasizes the need for genuine engagement with the natural world. Colwell's focus on the declining population of Curlews in Ireland and the UK led her to become a conservationist, writer, and establish a charity to raise awareness and protection for these birds.
