The healing powers of Nepal's orchids and yew trees have always been prized by local communities but global demand is stripping the forests of its healers. Step in Reshu Bashyal who's not only raising awareness of illegal harvesting of what she calls "the tigers of the plant world" but has a plan to protect these natural resources. Reshu tells Kate and Edward that she grew up understanding that plants are special but they did not appear to be recognized in wildlife conservation. She’s changing that. Reshu and her colleagues at NGO Greenhood Nepal want to empower forest groups, clear invasive species, plant thousands of new yews and rehabilitate fallen orchids. She’s also - crucially - working with government and forest officials to formalise a sustainable harvest and trade.

Extraordinary people are doing astonishing work to save nature around the world and clocking up big wins for the rarest of species and most fragile ecosystems. Join wildlife broadcaster Kate Humble and Edward Whitley for Season 2 as they explore unexpected solutions from award-winning conservationists saving wildlife species from Javan gibbons to jaguars in Brazil and learn how even a small stream frog in remote Patagonia was able to find its biggest champion.
Hear from the people redefining our relationship with species including the world's smallest elephant in Malaysian Borneo, the Grey Crowned Crane in Rwanda, brown spider monkeys in Colombia and orchids and Yew trees in Nepal as they explain How to Save It and safeguard the natural world and our planet.

So interesting

This was a fascinating insight into a story which would never get mainstream attention — but is so important. I look forward to more in the series.
