Wildlife Conversations - Deirdre Denali Rosenberg for Episode 19

Deirdre is a wildlife conservation photographer, author, and explorer working mainly in the San Juan Mountains and the Sonoran Desert of southern Arizona. She is deeply committed to photography, writing, storytelling, and wild spaces and says they have provided sanctuary in challenging times. 

Known for her passion for the alpine, the American pika and other alpine species, backpacking, and mountaineering, Deirdre also writes editorial pieces for national and international publications regarding wildlife and ecosystems and also collaborates with outdoor companies and local organizations who are looking for authentic content with a conservation spin. 

Some of the topics we covered include:

- each person being a conservationist in their own way, small and big

- imposter syndrome and the similarities that bring us together

- her journey to photography and how it gives her a way to express her point of view

- making a way for your dreams even if it's really hard and never stopping in your pursuit of them

- her sabbatical in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and what it taught her

- Deirdre's extensive research of the American Pika

- her next expeditions and stories she is working on plus her beautiful images

- live question and answer and more!
