Louis VI

Louis is a producer, zoologist, multi-instrumentalist and rapper from London. His second album, EARTHLING (released last year) is part ode to Nature, part powerful reminder of the damaging legacy of colonialism, and a call for climate justice.  Louis is also a self proclaimed “Nature geek”.

Hannah Bourne-Taylor

Supported by the RSPB and Rewriting Extinction, on 5th November 2022, I launched The Feather Speech, a national campaign for swifts. At the core of this 6 month campaign, was a petition asking for swift bricks to be made compulsory across new housing in Britain.
