Episode with Emma Luck about ecotourism in Norway 

This week, we had our final week with Shelby :( we talked about the last two chapters of Endangered Orcas by Monica Wieland Shields. Major thank you to Shelby for all of her contributions and wishing her the best of luck in the future!  

This week Erica chatted with Tim Harrison, founder of Outreach for Animals about his work trying to eliminate the exotic pet trade. While this is not directly related to the Southern Resident, there are many themes that are parallel in their conservation story. Tim has been featured in two films, The Elephant in the Living Room which is out now, and The Conservation Game which is premiering at various film festivals. He recently wrote a book White Magic going more in-depth about these issues and exploring the world of White Tigers in the United States.
