This week we are joined by Hervet Randriamady to discuss his research into the impacts of wildlife hunting. This episode covers a huge range of topics from fossa and tenrecs, to coral reefs and fish stocks. Importantly, it also features stories and research about the human experience: what are the impacts of wildlife hunting on human health?; how should we help protect these communities?; and what are the impacts of the environment on mental health?

Today Jack is joined by Lisa Bass, the Director of Programmes and Operations for SEED Madagascar. The duo discuss the wonderful mystery which is Madagascar; the impacts of climate change; and the diverse portfolio of work that SEED undertakes, including their work with School Building & Bat Conservation. Perhaps most importantly however, Lisa shines a light on the impact of COVID-19 on the charity, and the ongoing food crisis. While the charity has had huge successes in combatting these issues, the fight continues and they need our support. Please listen, share what you learn, and consider donating to their emergency fund which is providing vital supplies to those in need.

It is our Season Finale! To celebrate, the tables are turned and Jack is put in the hot seat to discuss his career path; the best advice he has ever received; and the people and animals who inspire him. Interviewed by Tasnia Khandaker Prova, the pair also discuss 'The Lion King' and the (few) animals that frighten them. Additionally, more serious issues including the importance of challenging western-centric conservation practices and the food crisis in Madagascar are explored.
