The Our Wild Future series of four panel discussions asks the big questions about our future relationship with nature; how we connect with wildness near and far, and how we can all make a difference in difficult times.
Each talk will bring a range of conservationists, writers, activists and experts together to discuss what's next for our climate, communities and planet.
