Nature’s Last Dance: Conservation, gender, and fish STDs with environmentalist Nat Kyriacou

Today’s episode is a wild, deeply insightful ride into the world of conservation, climate, gender, and storytelling - with an amazing woman who’s redefining how we talk about nature and our place in it. So, buckle up.Nat Kyriacou is an environmentalist, author, and founder who’s made serious waves - from receiving the Medal of the Order of Australia to landing on Forbes 30 Under 30. She’s led organisations like My Green World, sits on major boards, and has even been a delegate to the G20’s women’s group. But titles aside, what sets Nat apart is her voice - sharp, funny (seriously funny), and unflinchingly honest.Her new book, Nature’s Last Dance, has been called “racy, raucous, and riveting” - and trust us, it lives up to the hype. It's a book that somehow manages to juggle heartbreak and humour, science and swear words, fish STDs (not joking) and extinction crises - all in service of one big question: What happens to us when nature disappears?In this conversation, we get into it all: from her early curiosity about frogs and orangutans (who also stole her underwear on a trip one time), to why she wrote this book under the assumption no one would ever read it. We talk gender, justice, and the political battle over conservation. We laugh about snake clits (again, not joking). We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did - and please go grab a copy of the book while you're at it!
