Calls for the return of lynx grow louder each year. But as wildlife rebounds, it’s confronted by a society that has long forgotten how to live alongside wild nature – and isn’t sure it wants to try. Join Peter Cairns, host of At the Edge, as he explores the fault lines that divide opinion over nature’s place in our future.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/at-the-edge-7666133"},"episode":{"title":"How much wild is enough?","slug":"how-much-wild-is-enough","published_at":"2026-02-12T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/at-the-edge-7666133/how-much-wild-is-enough","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/at-the-edge-7666133","url":"https://attheedge.org.uk/podcasts/working-title-how-much-wild-is-enough","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/75c8d11a-192d-4028-a660-ec3996714dda.mp3","summary":"The UK has lost more of its wildlife than almost any other country. So, for some, the return of sea eagles, beavers, wild boar and pine martens is a rare and uplifting conservation triumph. For others, this wildlife resurgence represents a threat to rural livelihoods and an erosion of countryside traditions. So, how much wild are we willing to live with? And who gets to decide? In Episode #1 of At the Edge, host Peter Cairns speaks to expert guests who each shine a light on the social, cultural and political barriers facing Britain's wildlife comeback.
