Welcome fellow travellers!
Your hosts Jamie and Skander talk with George Iordăchescu, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Sheffield's BIOSEC project. George studies illegal timber trade and deforestation in his native Romania's beautiful mountains: the Carpathian. He tells us about the fine grey lines separating the legal from the criminal when it comes to timber harvesting, how many blanket-style laws end up hurting the poorest Romanians first and we discuss the "European Yellowstone" project, as well as the issues that come with rich individuals buying up forests and mountains for philanthropic ends.
Let us know your thoughts at risingwiththetide@gmail.com as well as what you'd like us to talk about next!
