The Conservationists Assemble is back with volume 47!
Today's episode focuses on the water vole. You know them, you love them, but you probably won’t have seen one and by the end of the episode you’ll have heard us talk about the remarkable character of Britain’s most endangered mammal and the efforts breaking down barriers that will see the return of this species in great numbers leaving you hopefully inspired to spread the word and perhaps join the fight.
Joining me now is Darren Tansley, Wilder Rivers & Protected Species Manager at the Essex Wildlife Trust, as we put the spotlight on the water vole.
