Wild Voices: Fighting for the forests, Adam Macon

Adam Macon (@adammacon) is Program Manager for Dogwood Alliance (https://www.dogwoodalliance.org/), an NGO fighting for forests in the southern United States. We cover Adam's love of North Carolina's countryside and teaching others to appreciate it through kayaking. But we also cover the threats to the incredible hardwood forests: millions of tonnes of wood are harvested from these forests every year and shipped to the UK to be burned in power stations. Adam delves into this controversial practice and the campaigns that Dogwood Alliance is running with local communities to fight to save the forests and their wildlife.
