Description
<p>The Balearics are once again heading towards the time of year when endless Wildfires break out.</p>
<p>2023 will forever be etched in firefighters memories as the year Ibiza and Formentera were attacked by raging forest blazes. </p>
<p>By December last year, 27 forest fires had engulfed our Paradise Islands and it makes you begin to wonder just how much work is being done to prevent them.</p>
<p>Journalist and sustainability consultant Clara Cano talks to us about the solutions in todays episode as we celebrate returning for Series 02 after her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njRgHbuMonc">TEDx Talk. </a></p>
<p>We meet Can Purtell creatorJess Dunlop on the farm to hear how she has been growing wheat for bread making and travels to a mill in Formentera to share with bakers on Ibiza.</p>
<p>Plus we hear from Local Futures director Helena Norborg Hodge on the new film, Closer to Home. This new 35-minute film is a united call for a new economy, delivered by those who have committed their lives to working for systemic change.</p>
<p>It Features strong voices from the worldwide localization movement, such as Vandana Shiva, Andrew Simms, Manish Jain, Iain McGilchrist, and more.</p>
<p>Thank you for listening and supporting Series 02 of Amar La Tierra. We are so happy to be back...</p>
