In this enlightening recap episode of The Adventure Diaries, Chris Watson sits revisits the Call to Adventure & Pay It Forward segments with Hazen Audel, the charismatic explorer and host of Primal Survivor. Hazen shares his passion for rewilding, the importance of ecotourism, and his experiences in some of the world's most unique natural environments. From his backyard to the vast landscapes of Ecuador and the Great Rift Valley, Hazen offers listeners a fresh perspective on how we can all contribute to conservation and reconnect with nature.

Key Topics Discussed:

• Rewilding: Hazen introduces the concept of rewilding, emphasizing the importance of restoring natural habitats even in our own backyards. He shares personal anecdotes about creating safe spaces for wildlife and how this practice has shaped his children's understanding of nature.
• Ecotourism: Hazen encourages travelers to explore beyond the popular destinations like Costa Rica, advocating for visits to lesser-known regions in South and Central America. He highlights the positive impact ecotourism can have on local communities and wildlife conservation.
• Safe Wildlife Corridors: Reflecting on his time in Africa, Hazen discusses the critical need for safe migration routes for animals, particularly elephants, and the efforts of organizations like Space for Giants to protect these corridors.
• Supporting Conservation: Hazen expresses his support for the Jane Goodall Foundation and other organizations focused on education and conservation, particularly in regions rich in biodiversity.

Memorable Quotes:

• "We have the same power to make the world better than how we found it... It’s about creating spaces where wildlife can thrive, even in our own backyards."
• "Go to Ecuador, go to these other places in South and Central America outside of Costa Rica... Show the local people that we care about their natural resources."
• "These animals don't have a place to migrate to because their places are being turned into highways and things like this."
