With Chris somewhere in Europe again (we think) Ari sits down with Erik Montgomery, Director of Operations for the Natural Encounters Conservation Fund, to chat all things NECF! Erik and Ari tak about NECF's work donating 100% of the funds they collect to various in situ conservaton programs that really need it, benefitting everything from lions and vultures to pangolins and gharials, what those three R's in the chasing arrow recycling symbol really mean, and how mining for sand on the other side of the world might have long term effects on the environment that we should take for "granite". Hopefully this conversation gets everyone thinking more about conservation!
