For our very first episode of SUGi Talks, we meet James Godfrey-Faussett. As SUGi’s lead Forest Maker, James manages our global urban Pocket Forest and afforestation efforts. In the UK alone he has planted 20 forests, including the UK and Europe's biggest Miyawaki forest in Barking and Dagenham. Focussing on cities and the chronic lack of Biodiversity in our urban areas, we reimagine what healthy cities could look like. Alongside this, we speak about the healing power of Nature and the UK’s at-risk temperate rainforest biome.  Make sure you Like and Subscribe wherever you get podcasts for more SUGi Talks. 🌿 Support Nature-based Solutions that build biodiversity, climate resilience, and wellbeing in cities. 🌿 https://www.sugiproject.com/support Project Links: Southbank Centre — Natura Nostra Forest https://www.sugiproject.com/projects/southbank-natura-nostra-forest Koswik Law — A temperate rainforest in Cornwall https://www.sugiproject.com/projects/koswik-law Ancestral Forest — Wonderfruit's interactive festival forest https://www.sugiproject.com/projects/ancestral-forest
