In this episode, Christina welcomes Court Whelan, a conservation biologist and nature guide with a PhD in Ecology and Sustainable Tourism.

They discuss the role of conservation-focused travel in inspiring and educating travelers, the sustainable practices of Court’s company, Natural Habitat Adventures, and how travel can be a powerful tool for conservation when done responsibly. Court shares insights from his recent trip to Greenland, reflecting on the Greenland ice sheet and the urgency it conveys about climate change. He and Christina also explore how companies in the tourism industry can lead with sustainable practices and how individual travelers can make a difference by supporting eco-conscious providers and integrating conservation into their lives.
