Deep in some of the world’s most hard-to-reach places lies a wealth of plant knowledge that could offer the next life-saving cure.

In this episode, James Wong explores how Kew scientists works alongside remote communities on the ground to understand plants’ medicinal properties.

And there’s a history lesson in it too, as James learns of the enormous impact that humble quinine, (found in your G&T), had throughout colonialism through to the world wars.

What is yet to be discovered? And what do we stand to lose if we do not protect and respect world ecosystems?
