Show notes

Wild Lives is the podcast from BBC Wildlife Magazine that gets you closer to the people who dedicate their lives to the natural world. We meet inspirational people across the globe – from the depths of the Amazon jungle to London’s Natural History Museum – and find out why they have contributed so much to nature.

From scientists, guides and conservationists, to writers, photographers and passionate hobbyists, we share their stories, challenges, and triumphs as they live and work alongside wildlife every day.

Join us for honest conversations, inspiring journeys, and a behind-the-scenes look at what it really means to be part of the wild. Whether you’re a nature lover or simply curious, Wild Lives offers a warm, personal window into the human side of wildlife.

BBC Wildlife Magazine is the world’s longest-running and most-popular nature publication. Wild Lives is hosted by Paul McGuinness and produced by Lewis Dobbs.
