What role does creativity play in conservation work? How can art help conservation organizations connect to their communities? How can each of us use our creativity to tackle issues of climate change and other environmental work?

In this episode, we explore these questions with conservation artist Marco Molina - a graphic designer and naturalist illustrator who inspires communities throughout Costa Rica with his art that stretches across various creative disciplines. He shares with us how art is the key to effective conservation, and how he uses his creativity in the service of organizations that solve different ecological problems around the country.
