Conservation Podcasts – discover what it is like to work in conservation
A great way to find out more about working in conservation is by listening to podcasts from the people who actually work in the field. The ‘This Wild Life Conservation Podcast’ posts weekly interviews and discussions from leading conservationists who describe tales of their wild adventures and discuss the highs and lows of living and working in the wild. They also reveal a unique insight into the lives of the animals they work tirelessly to protect. By listening you can discover how to become a conservationist and gain valuable insight into current conservation issues.
This Wild Life Conservation interviews conservationists from around the world on a variety of current issues and topics. They recently featured Anna Tolan, founder of the Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust (CWET), in an episode titled – Giving children hope and wildlife a chance.
Anna, and her husband, set up the CWET in 1998 on the outskirts of South Luangwa National Park. Their mission is to teach Zambian children and the local communities the value of wildlife and to conserve it for present and future generations. Their success speaks for itself as many of their previous students have become conservation leaders both here in Zambia and abroad.
In her 35 minute interview she shares her stories about her everyday life in Mfuwe, the work that her Trust does and the wildlife she has rescued – including baby hippos!
You can listen to Anna’s podcast on This Wildlife Conservation Podcast and you can also follow and listen again to all the This Wild Life Conservation podcast episodes on their Facebook Page.
