Episode Description from the Publisher

Wild Lives, the podcast from the team at BBC Wildlife Magazine is back for Season 2! Hosted by BBC Wildlife editor Paul McGuinness, Wild Lives returns with more incredible stories from the people who work and live on the frontlines of the natural world. We speak with Peruvian chemical biologist and conservationist Dr Rosa Vasquez Espinoza, about combining science with her ancestral knowledge of indigenous Amazonian and Andean healing. We also hear from deep sea explorer Jeffrey Marlow about how his studies of the microbes that live at the depths of our oceans is helping in the search for life on other planets. And we head to British Columbia to meet First Nations hereditary chief Mike Willie, who shows us how indigenous-run tourism in Canada supports nature and local communities. Also this series we’ll be discovering how flight evolved 2 or possibly 3 times; we’ll meet the sea rangers changing the landscape of our oceans, we’ll go birding in the Amazon and we’ll find out how wildlife tourism and conservation go hand in hand in east Africa.
