The summer science series continues with an episode from Tune into Nature, a podcast about New Zealand wildlife and wild places, and the people who look after them. Independent producer Karthic SS visits the Mokomoko Dryland Sanctuary Central Otago. Here, a team is working to bring back endangered lizards – Otago skinks and grand skinks – to the drylands wilderness they once lived in. These species are true wildlife underdogs – so rare and out of sight, not many people know they exist. Tune into Nature is a podcast produced and presented by Karthic SS. Listen to more Tune into Nature episodes. Guests: - Grant Norbury, ecologist and chairperson, Central Otago Ecological Trust (COET)
- Anna Yeoman, science communicator and trustee, COET
