A Wild Call
May 19th, 2016
Martyn has completed a second travel narrative. A Wild Call is a tale of adventure – of one man’s love for his boat and the sea. It will strike a chord in those who treasure our right to live and wander freely. It examines how these age-old liberties and traditions are being eroded in today's intrusive society, and explores practical ways of holding on to them. It is a wake-up call for all who value personal freedom. Further announcements will be posted here.
Radical Solution to Avoid Depletion of Natural Resources
May 18th, 2016
The way in which society uses forests, fisheries and other natural resources could be inspired by nature, which creates sustainable ecosystems amid intense species competition for limited resources. Drawing on his work with Serengeti antelope, Martyn Murray realised that the ‘harvesting niche’ of humans exploiting natural resources is equivalent to the ‘ecological niche’ found in natural communities. One of the main outcomes of his work is to reveal the power of the partitioned ecosystem in achieving greater sustainability in the uses of natural resources. Further information is provided in an illustrated blog which also provides info on its scientific publication.
