Tony Juniper

Episode 1: Tony Juniper In this debut episode of Wild Kingdom & The Map of Dreams, Hugh Somerleyton sits down with Tony Juniper, Chair of Natural England, to explore how bold leadership, rewilding, and radical optimism can help us restore nature and reimagine the future of Britain. One of Britain's most distinguished environmentalists, Tony Juniper CBE has spent more than four decades at the frontline of nature conservation, from leading Friends of the Earth and advising the then Prince of Wales, to his current role as Chair of Natural England, the government's official body for nature conservation and restoration in England. A prolific author and broadcaster, Tony has campaigned on everything from tropical rainforests to the Climate Change Act 2008. A fitting guest to open the series on World Wildlife Day, he brings both the weight of policy experience and a genuine passion for what nature recovery looks like in practice.
