Today’s guest is Mario Shimbov (@shimboviswild), a true conservationist with many interests and talents in herpetology, photography, and science communication. Mario and I talk about a couple of organizations he’s a part of, and I learn the term work parties --which sound crazy fun, tbh. We also discuss how conservation has changed during the pandemic, and he gives optimistic, awesome advice. It is possible to make a positive impact-- no matter where you are!
