Saving Tigers, Green Crime, and Stories from the End of the World
Adam Rutherford talks to Jon Slaght, Juhea Kim and Julia Shaw about conservation, environmental crime and storytelling in a time of ecological crisis.
Adam Rutherford presents a programme exploring the natural world and the threats it faces. Jonathan Slaght discusses Tigers Between Empires, his account of the international effort to save the Siberian tiger from extinction in the wake of the Cold War. Juhea Kim’s short story collection A Love Story from the End of the World imagines lives lived in precarious balance with nature, from biodomes in Seoul to landfill islands in the Pacific. Julia Shaw’s Green Crime investigates the psychology behind environmental destruction, profiling the perpetrators of ecological harm and the people fighting to stop them.
