Radical · Britain's Lost Species: Should We Resurrect Our Extinct Wildlife? (Derek Gow) · 13 Aug 2026 podcast

It's lovely to be here.

I wanted to start from the beginning as it were.

Can you tell us a bit about what you do today, but maybe start with the journey that took you to this? 'Cause you've not always been on sort of this side of the topic we're gonna to discuss, as it were.

line that um stood out to me, you you talked almost about a contrast between nature and farming.

And I'm sure to some people that might be a bit of a surprise.

So can you unpack that a little bit and maybe lead in from that to what your whole goal here is with the switch that you've made?

reverse some or as as many as you can I guess of those steps by reintroducing some of the species that have been pushed aside or even eradicated back into the

here.

Are you trying to just rewild the entirety of the UK starting in your little corner of Devon, or is this more about demonstration and awareness?

What's what's the goal?

I just wanted to um pick up on something that you mentioned, NEP.

Is NEP essentially a another variant of what you're doing in Devon, a different scale, different goals?

To DEFRA, and they didn't come back to us with a response on this.

The National Farmers Union did come to us with a comment on this.
