Arthur joins Eva Kruse, producer of new environmental documentary Bee Wild to record in front of a live audience at Ladbroke Hall during London Climate Action Week. In this episode, we hear from Eva on the plight of the world’s pollinators, what businesses and individuals are doing to protect them, and what we can be optimistic about. Arthur also shares more on The Newt’s biodiversity programme to protect and enhance natural habitats and bring members and guests closer to our wonderful world of insects.
The film is part of a broader global impact campaign called Bee:wild, powered by Re:wild, the nature conservation organisation co-founded by Leonardo DiCaprio.
