In this episode of the Joy Trip Reading Project, James Edward Mills speaks with author, photographer, and conservation storyteller Dudley Edmondson about his new book People the Planet Needs Now. Together they explore representation in the outdoors, environmental justice, the healing power of nature, and the importance of allowing communities to tell their own stories. Featuring inspiring voices from across the global majority, Edmondson’s work challenges listeners to rethink who belongs in conservation and why diverse leadership is essential to the future of the planet.
