Rewilding the World with Ben Goldsmith
Replenishing the Garden of Eden with Azzam Alwash
“We don’t give nature enough credit. All mankind needs is to do is to move aside and let the natural system return.”
Iraq is one of the five countries most touched by some effects of climate change, according to the United Nations. In this episode of Rewilding the World Ben Goldsmith talks with Azzam Alwash, founder of Nature Iraq, about the fabled Mesopotamian marshes. This great wetland is considered to have been the original Garden of Eden. Destroyed by Saddam Hussein, and now coming back to life, this is an extraordinary story of restoration.
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.
