Matt Shardlow CEO of Buglife on neonicotinoid insecticides

A conversation with Matt Shardlow, CEO of Buglife the invertebrate conservation trust and – as ‘The Independent’ put it – “the environmentalist with the most conspicuous rising reputation in Britain”. In this Talking Naturally (TN) podcast we are discussing neonicotinoids, an incredibly toxic group of chemicals that appear to be having a massive impact on invertebrates. Matt explains what neonicotinoids are, the serious impacts they’re having, and why Buglife is threatening legal action against the government saying that their use should be halted under the EU law of ‘Precautionary Principle’.
