Welcome! We’re all hard to summarise, and have many different sides to us. In my case the best overview I can suggest is to look at the range of different tabs of this website.

My approaches to helping people via the environment and wildlife include writing, podcasting and fundraising.

In 2019 I released my first book, Alien Places. In 2023 I founded the Environmental Thinking Institute.

My endeavours are based on 24 years of experience working in the environmental sector, a MSc with Distinction in Environmental Management, and a First Class BA in Geography.

Another way to answer the ‘About’ question is listening to podcast and radio interviews where I was the guest:

I was a guest on the How Did We Get Here? podcast, recorded on 13 February 2023. Please click the image below to have a listen on Spotify. This interview covers my background as well as the origins of the Environmental Thinking Institute (ETI).

 

In March 2021 I was interviewed for the Knowing Nature podcast’s Film Club series, where we took a deep dive into the film Arrival, and how thinking from an alien perspective can help us to solve the climate and biodiversity crises. Please click their logo below to have a listen:

I was also a guest on the Solutions for Climate Revolution podcast in July 2020. To listen please click the image below:

 

I was interviewed on BBC Radio Solent three times in 2020. Together these can give you a good overview of what my current work is about:

1. My interview on BBC Radio Solent for Look, Listen, Learn! in January 2020 gives a summary of my background and current projects. To hear the edited version (23mins) please click the sound file below:

2. In January 2020 I did a second, phone-in interview for BBC Radio Solent to share my thoughts on Sir David Attenborough’s warning that the moment of climate crisis has now arrived. Please have a listen at the sound file below (3mins):

3. On 1 June 2020 Pat Sissons from BBC Radio Solent, in the ‘BBC Upload’ segment, played an extract from the Alien Places podcast, and we had a short chat live on air. Please have a listen at the sound file below (6mins):
