Evening Talk: Building a Naturalist by Nick Baker

Part Autobiography, part hard hitting call to action.

Building a naturalist is a journey through the development of a life-long biophile. Expect a journey that spans the last 44 years and zings all over the planet – connecting via experiences – familiar UK habitats to stories from more exotic shores.

Nick touches on subjects as broad as how keeping caterpillars in a jam jar lead to working with Britain’s rarest butterfly, how playing with grass-snakes helped Nick tackle a cobra, the similarities between Badgers and Black Rhino and how the most endangered species in the world is a child playing free in nature.

This talk explores why this is and suggests how we go about rewinding a young generation and in doing so – save the world.
