Duration: 60 minutes
With our planet on the brink of calamitous climate change, Chris Flynn’s extraordinary book Mammoth scrutinises humanity’s role in the destruction of the natural world while also offering a message of hope. Discover why Chris chose a long-extinct animal to narrate this ambitious (mostly true) story about how a collection of prehistoric creatures came to be offered for sale in 2017.
