The Outdoors Fix

Sophie Pavelle: The zoologist and hiker who’s obsessed with British wildlife

My guest today is Sophie Pavelle!
Sophie is a zoologist, science communicator, environmental advocate and the Youth Ambassador for the Wildlife Trusts. 
She’s incredibly passionate about the wildlife we have in the UK and through her work she tries to encourage others to appreciate it and therefore want to protect it.
How did she get here? It involved a 300 mile hike around the coast of Cornwall!
Sophie and I went for a walk before the lockdown on Woodbury Common in Devon. 
I wanted to ask Sophie how she got involved in her outdoors career, why she thinks getting people outside is more important than ever and her tips for spotting and identifying the creatures around you!
