I cannot wait to share what I have learnt with you.  Find more content at www.thecuriousenvironmentalist.com  The Curious Environmentalist Podcast is a part of New Knowings Media.  Credits:  New Knowings Media: Music ‘Mountain Path’ by Magnetic Trailer from Pixabay with VO by Rebecca Hansell & Mickey Stanley (2022).
