Today we're speaking with the host of The Case for Conservation podcast, and Programme Director at the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies, André Mader.

André is a conservation biologist by training and he's worked mostly in biodiversity policy, first in his native South Africa, and then also in Canada, Switzerland, and then also Japan.

During the podcast, we talk about the role of policy and strategy in wildlife conservation efforts, with agreements like the Convention on Biological Diversity seeking to influence governments globally to develop more sustainably.

We also hear about his thoughts on podcasting, and advice he'd give to people like you seeking to follow in his footsteps. It's a really thoughtful, wide-ranging and engaging discussion. As always, enjoy.
