Then it's White faced darters that are in the news when Ryan shares how a new potential hot spot for the rare species could be their new home up north in the UK.

If it's one word you hear us mention a lot it's "community" & on this week's Nature News, Nadia once again shows the power it can have. A community in Sussex, UK, that have worked together & managed to get council agreed rights to the River Ouse. Ryan then tackles a tricky story of Polar Bear hunting & trade in Canada & a recent article calling out WWF for facilitating in both of these but......is it that simple?
