Super coooool show this week. Lots of funky things to talk about. In the news section we'll be talking about what happens when you clear rats from a Caribbean island, a new passive solar desalination technology, and a ROBOT MANTA RAY will it solve climate change?
The thing of the week this week is all about Why did rats eat Aotearoa. That's a bit of click bait because they didn't eat the country, but they ate about all they could there. Find out about how this happened, what's being done about it, and how ONE BIRD saved an island. This is Eco Show
Apologies again for the audio quality, will try to get it right next week.

We're talking salmon. We're talking koalas. We're talking about your new go to travel destination for a remote ocean getaway.
