Dr. Jerrold (Jerry) Belant, a dear old friend of Robbie's from their time as professors at Mississippi State University, joins the podcast after bumping into Robbie at the CIC general assembly in Vienna, Austria. Jerry is the Boone And Crockett Chair of Wildlife Conservation at Michigan State, and is one of the foremost scientific minds in the world in carnivore conservation (publishing over a hundred papers a year!) and brings his formidable experience to the show to educate the audience about what exactly carnivore conservation looks like.
