Last year, Ben Goldsmith was lucky enough to visit the great Okefenokee swamp in Georgia; the largest federally protected area east of the Mississippi. The place is pure magic, full of birds and fish, alligators and the singing of frogs; dark night skies like he'd rarely seen. But it's a landscape under threat from mining.
In this episode of Rewilding the world Ben Goldsmith is joined by Josh Marks, founder of Georgians for the Okefenokee, who is leading a heroic effort to secure this landscape forever.
Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast. Join him as he speaks to people from all over the world who champion nature and are helping to restore habitats and wildlife to some of the most nature depleted parts of our planet.
