Description

Forget what you think you know about conservation.

Jake Fiennes, Director of Conservation at Holkham Estate, is rewriting the rules of land management, biodiversity, and environmental investment in the UK. From bringing cattle egrets and white-tailed eagles back to Norfolk skies, to challenging centuries-old subsidy systems, to asking why ancient woodlands are still undervalued—this episode doesn’t shy away from the hard questions.

We dig into the economics of nature, the politics of policy, and the power of bold, private action to create lasting change. Jake doesn’t just manage land—he transforms it, proving that conservation can be ambitious, profitable, and spectacular all at once.

If you care about the future of our countryside, the survival of species, and how private landowners can reshape the game, this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.
