Listening to Nature — a conversation with environmental journalist Anna Turns
<p class="p1">This week's podcast is a conversation between guest interviewer Dr. Mike Edwards, co-founder of environmental organisation Sound Matters, and scientist and journalist Anna Turns who is the Senior environment editor of Conservation UK.</p> <p class="p1">Anna writes: </p> <p class="p1">I specialise in crafting features and radio documentaries about sustainability, from climate change and renewable energy to marine issues, food and farming. My first book, Go Toxic Free: Easy and Sustainable Ways to Reduce Chemical Pollution, was published in 2022, and I enjoy presenting episodes of BBC Radio 4’s Costing the Earth series.<br /> As a freelance journalist and Oxford University biology graduate, I combine my passion for storytelling and my curiosity about the natural world to write inspiring, intelligent content for many national publications including The Guardian, BBC Future, Positive News and Riverford’s Wicked Leeks. I’ve never missed a deadline. With rigorous reporting skills and a keen eye for imagery, my work focuses on progress, innovation and solutions. Constructive journalism is a thread that runs through all of my work.<br /> I’m an assessor for the Cambridge Institute of Sustainable Leadership on the Communicating for Impact and Influence online course. I have taught journalism undergraduates at Plymouth Marjon University. I’m an active member of the Guild of Food Writers, Women in Journalism and National Union of Journalists and also mentor early career journalists. I also sit on the integrity council for Provenance which aims to combat greenwashing and create standards that better enable transparency. I’m passionate about environmental education and the importance of a strong connection to the landscape and coast.</p>

Her socially engaged practice often combines film, participatory events and workshops; She frequently collaborates with other artist, activists, scientist and engaged people in her work.<br /> Eva creates spaces and experiences that challenge our thinking and unravel new narratives that inspire and engage us to make sense of and embody sustainable and thriving ways. By revealing and reclaiming forgotten or rejected practices, concepts and cultures her work directs our attention to the patterns that connect us to the earth as a living organism.<br /> Eva is particularly inspired by the process of fermentation and explores how this can be a method for re-imagining sustainable human cultures. She looks at how microbes can inspire creative problem solving, collaboration and transformation to find new ways to deal with the many challenges we are now facing in the world.<br /> Eva shows, lectures, curates and performs her work worldwide. She has an MA in Art & Ecology from Dartington College of Art in England and lives on the beautiful island of Engeløya in North Norway.
