This time we're talking to Steve Micklewright, the chief executive of up-and-coming nature charity Trees for Life. In his time in the job he has doubled the charity's staff, established the UK's first rewilding centre, and tackled the Scottish Government in court over beaver shootings. That's despite working WITH the government on many issues....
So
Do too many NGOs back off from such confrontation when they should have nothing to fear?
Should lynx, absent from Scotland for more than a millennium, come back in the next decade - and what will sheep farmers make of that?
Just how scary is it working for a bird charity in Malta?
Listen in, subscribe, share - Steve is an important figure in conservation in Scotland, and his views should be heard.
