Wild Kingdom and The Map of Dreams is a brand-new podcast hosted by Hugh Somerleyton, founder of the wildlife charity WildEast. At its heart is the Map of Dreams, a living record of extraordinary people doing ordinary things to restore the natural world and sharing their vision for what a wilder future might look like.

The ambition is bold but simple: to restore 20% of the United Kingdom back to nature, recording every pledge on the Map of Dreams. Because change, as Wild Kingdom co-founder Hugh Somerleyton believes, doesn't only happen at policy level, it happens in back gardens, field margins, and farmyards, one pledge at a time.

In this series, Hugh sits down with some of the brightest minds and most passionate voices and commentators in conservation to explore what meaningful advocacy really looks like, and why biodiversity isn't just an environmental issue, but a human one.
