Can the past teach us how to fight climate change?

Climate change is making weather more extreme and threatening
crops and wildlife. But could old solutions help us tackle these
challenges? Around the world, farmers and scientists are reviving
ancient crops, and reintroducing ancient animals to build
resilience against climate impacts.


In this episode, reporter Beth Timmins travels to the Peruvian
Andes to meet the ‘Potato Guardians’, while Jordan Dunbar visits
London’s Natural History Museum. Curator Lottie Dodwell-Williams
introduces the museum's first climate-focused exhibit, Fixing Our
Broken Planet, which includes a plan to bring bison back to
Britain.


Host Graihagh Jackson chats to Jordan and Beth about how
traditional knowledge and techniques from the past are being used
to combat the effects of climate change today.
