“I was just wondering what it was like working with Prince Philip on environmental issues? Because from what I know - and this is a bit controversial - he had some very apparent contradictions in his love for conservation. For example, the year that he became the president of WWF was the same year that he was in Ranthambore, a forest that I love so deeply, hunting an eight foot tiger with local Rajasthani maharajas. How did those things balance out?”

What do a 24 year-old filmmaker from India and a 67 year-old British theologian who worked closely with the late Prince Philip think is the best way to save the planet? In this episode of Forces of Nature. Martin Palmer and Malaika Vaz sit down for a debate about HRH The Duke of Edinburgh’s approach to conservation, hunting and the role of religion in protecting the environment.

What have the world’s best-known environmentalists learned over the past 60 years? What are their biggest regrets? And what is the next generation of activists doing to tackle the threats facing our planet? 

As WWF turns 60, the world’s largest conservation organisation is hosting a series of candid conversations between some of the biggest names in the environmental movement.

Through these conservation conversations, we’ll hear how action to save our planet has changed over six decades, what the next generation can learn from legendary trailblazers, and vice versa; and whether together, we can achieve more in the next ten years than we have in the last 60.
