In the first episode of the Nature Insight’s new season, Brit Garner and Rob Spaull set sail - literally and figuratively - on a journey inspired by one of history’s most influential naturalists. In ‘Darwin’s Wake - New Horizons for Nature Science’ they explore how today’s scientists, conservationists and others are influenced by Charles Darwin’s legacy and discover how biodiversity science has changed in the 21st century.

In this episode Brit interviews Victor Rault, leader of a multi-year, round-the-world expedition retracing the route of Darwin’s voyage on the HMS Beagle which took place almost two hundred years ago. Rob speaks to Professor Alex Antonelli, the Executive Director of Science at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in the UK. It is home to the largest collection of living plants from around the world and Rob hears about its historical connections to Darwin and his legacy today.
