How much wild is enough?

Against a backdrop of stunning imagery, Peter Cairns takes a deep dive into our relationship with wild nature – and with each other.

We all have opinions about the return of sea eagles, pine martens, beavers, wild boar, and even the potential reintroduction of lynx.

So, how much wild is enough?

Against a backdrop of stunning imagery, video and sound, Peter Cairns explores our complex relationship with wild nature, unpacking the forces that shape how we see, talk about and live alongside the wildlife that shares our landscapes.

About the presenter

For three decades, I’ve been committed to building connections between people and wild nature – as a conservation photographer and filmmaker, writer and speaker, and now podcaster. Much of my time has been spent in the places where people and wildlife meet – and often collide.
