About This Podcast

Welcome to Wildlife Matters, where we explore the incredible world of wildlife and nature. Join your host Nigel Palmer, a lifelong nature lover and expert with over 30 years experience of working with wildlife, as he takes you on an adventure into the fascinating complexities of the natural world. Through solo shows and engaging interviews, we deep dive into topics such as Animal behaviour, ecology of species, plants, biodiversity, and habitat loss, we will take you on engaging wildlife and countryside walks to some of Britain's most enchanting places. We stand up and speak out for wildlife and nature by investigating animal persecution and exposing the cruelty of hunting and other blood sports as well as holding our government to account for their shocking poor performance on the environment and nature. If you are a nature enthusiast seeking knowledge, connection and inspiration, the Wildlife Matters Podcast is for you.
