Entry #16: On birds and Biodiversity with Joe England

Joe England is a British ornithologist who has worked with Opwall in Fiji since 2017 when he helped set up the first research sites on the Natewa Peninsula. Joe is deeply passionate about birds, biodiversity, and the natural world, which shines through in his work and his words. He is eager to return to Fiji after the global lockdown to continue his research on the behaviour of the rare, microendemic Natewa Silktail, a tiny bird that lives only on this peninsula. Through his work with Opwall and other research organizations, Joe has led and participated in biodiversity surveys all over the world, including in Peru, Australia, Borneo, and now Romania. In this episode we discuss the origins of Joe's respect and love for nature (birds in particular), what makes Fiji such a special and sometimes challenging place to work, and how to live a life committed to protecting biodiversity every day.
