This episode is the first in a collaboration with Kendal Mountain Festival, the UK's main social gathering for outdoor enthusiasts, whose mission to 'inspire more people to explore, respect and represent mountains, wilderness and their cultures' is very much in keeping with the Running on Joy ethos.
Sophie Pavelle is a zoologist and science communicator, whose first book, Forget Me Not, explores the lesser-known species threatened by climate breakdown in the UK. With a down to earth, fresh writing style, Sophie takes the reader on a low-carbon journey, travelling the length and breadth of the British Isles to seek out ten animals and habitats threatened by climate change in the 21st century, ranging from seagrass and salmon to Mountain Hares. Forget Me Not is a simultaneously funny, accessible and thought-provoking, passionate call to action and a reminder that we all have a part to play in protecting the magic of the land around us; indeed, we really can’t afford not to.
Sophie is a sensitive and empathetic voice who makes you want to take time to be and breathe and reconnect with a less 'filtered' way of encountering the ancient wisdom of our day-to-day existence. We spoke a lot about love: the difference between true, unconditional love and romanticism and how the former is both a means and manifesto for living life with the kind of reciprocal compassion that will ultimately bring about long-term reparation and change in our relationship with the world.
