It's no secret that ever since humans have been on this planet, we have needed to use forests to survive. Whether that be for firewood, shelter or food, the forests we've lived in or around have provided for us, but how does this look in the year 2023?

In this episode Ryan & Nadia explore the history of forestry in the UK & then journey to Namibia, Nepal & Guyana to learn about community forestry & the systems these countries have created to sustainably managed their forests, restore biodiversity & of course, support the communities that rely on them.

Guest appearances from: Guy Shrubsole, Kenyetu Joseph, Dr Raquel Thomas & Birendra Mahato.
