The Lama, the Oath and the Web of Treasure Vases – with Cynthia Jurs, author of ‘Summoned by the Earth’

The Manic Fire Monkeys Do It Again (and Again): Exploring the wonder of human evolution with Dr Shane Simonsen
The climate emergency is impacting our entire eco-sphere. Plants are at the core of every food chain but we have no idea how fast they can adapt to changes that are taking place in decades where once they took Millenia.
