Welcome to Why We Care, hosted by Tiphaine Marie - the podcast where together we explore our relationship with the natural world, to better understand how intertwined nature is with our daily lives – but also to rekindle our sense of wonder towards it. We dive into what our separation from nature means, and take a look at practical ways to restore and nurture this vital relationship.
Hear from the people at the heart of the environmental movement, all around the world – scientists, activists, and campaigners but also artists and storytellers, who are all relentlessly advocating for change. I hope these conversations will inspire you to challenge the status quo, and give you hope. Thank you for tuning in, and sending you lots of love!

Can we dance our way towards a greener future? with Gail Gallie, Co-Founder of THE NAT
In today’s episode I’m speaking with Gail Gallie, the co-founder of THE NAT - a global platform accelerating investment in nature through the power of culture. Through a yearly gala and other convenings, THE NAT is driving new conversations around nature, finance and cultural influence. Before founding THE NAT, Gail spent almost a decade as Marketing Director at the BBC, co-founded Project Everyone with Richard Curtis to lead the global campaign for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and also co-founded of Goals House, the global convening platform that brings together leaders from business, politics and civil society during Davos, COP and the United Nations General Assembly.
We spoke about the nature finance gap and how to convince investors to direct more funds towards the protection and restoration of nature. Gail believes this transformation needs to be rooted in culture, and so we spoke about how we’re not going to get change happening at the speed and scale we need without culture. How artists can amplify this important message, bring people together, and also give us the hope and joy we need to carry on what we’re doing. This episode is a bit of a love letter to the arts and a reminder that change is happening!
Hope you will enjoy listening - thanks so much for tuning in!

What’s happening in Antarctica with Anne-Sophie Roux, Ocean researcher and activist
In today’s episode I’m speaking with Anne-Sophie Roux, a French researcher and activist who has been leading a campaign against deep sea mining for the past few years (you might remember her from an episode we did on this back in 2023!) Anne-Sophie recently came back from an expedition to Antarctica and has just launched, alongside organisations including Under The Pole and Malizia Explorer, a petition calling on governments around the globe to better protect key foraging habitats for whales, seals, penguins, and seabirds, as well as important underwater ecosystems in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. The Southern Ocean is the biggest freshwater reserve on Earth, and one of our main allies in the fight against climate change as it absorbs 75% of the excess heat generated by human activity.
Through the Antarctic Treaty, Antarctica was designated in the 1960s as a natural reserve devoted to peace and science. And yet, damage is being caused by a few corporations who are plundering it for resources and overfishing. But there is reason for hope: we have a window to act for Antarctica and just a few weeks ago the European Parliament proposed a five year moratorium on krill fisheries in the Southern Ocean. Listen to hear more about Anne-Sophie's expedition, what it was like being in Antarctica, the beautiful underwater forest ecosystems, and also practical tips on what you can do to support the campaign and help protect Antarctica and the many species who call it home.
Hope you will enjoy listening - thanks so much for tuning in!
