On today’s episode, we are joined by wildlife activist and adventurer, Roger Morgan-Grenville. Chair of the trustees for Curlew Action, a charity dedicated to the conservation of Curlews, Roger briefs us on the impact of climate and urbanization on wildlife. Recently, Roger embarked on a 50-day, 1,000mile walk from Lymington to Cape Wrath to raise awareness and funds for the endangered species.
Tune in as Roger shares with us his previous expeditions, and how he geared up for this demanding trek at the age of 62. Familiar with Shackleton’s incredible voyage across South Georgia Island? Well, Roger led the first expedition to successfully retrace Shackleton's journey during his time with the Royal Green Jackets, and he indulges us with tales from his extraordinary adventure. This episode is not one to miss!
