Restoring and Conserving the Wetlands: A Discussion With Matthew Simpson

In episode 2 of our Green Jobs series we speak to Matthew Simpson, Director of Ecological Consultancy 35%, who are working to conserve, restore and raise awareness of one of our most globally threatened ecosystems, wetlands. Matthews discusses the value of stakeholder engagement and local knowledge, as well as the need for a holistic approach to sustainability and conservation projects. He shares his tips on how to make contacts and get involved through societies and professional bodies (whatever your age and career stage), and some of the key skills that have helped him along the way, including humility, and recognising that you aren't always the only expert!
