Hammond Professor Emeritus at the University of Montana and lives in my home state of New Mexico. About 45 minutes south of my home town in Santa Fe.

And if you aren't fond of these small canids by the end of the book you'll love them or at least have a new respect for them. We dive into Dan's work as a storyteller and learn how he writes about wildlife, his process, and how the wildlife inspire him.

  • Episode 063 - Celina Chien begins her conservation career using photography to share biology stories

    Conservationist and Photographer, Celina Chien, is giving a voice to wildlife in the age of the Anthropocene.

    "I stumbled across a few other photographers and I realized that I've never even considered it before as a medium of \ communicating conservation and communicating science but I found that it was the perfect bridge between conservation and scientists and the academic world and the public because, you know, we hear all these statistics and we hear about all these horrible facts, you know, the sixth mass extinction and you know it makes us feel helpless. And also it's just so big and abstract and having photos that can be shown, emotional connection between people and environmental issues. I think it can really start a discussion and spark action." Celina shares in her interview about finding photography and using it for science.

    In this episode she shares how a new conservation starts out in the field and why she connected with wildlife.

  • Episode 062 - Communicate Like A Conservation Project Manager

    One of the most powerful skills to master as a conservation project manager is communication, put simply know when it is time to talk, and not talk just for the sake of talking. We've all been to one of these meetings where someone just keeps talking about something that was covered already. Wishing the project manager would redirect the conversation back to the agenda. Or wishing the project manager would just end the meeting so the team can get back to work. Perhaps you are a conservation project manager or want to be one, today I share tips on how you can boost your communication skills so you can be wiser, listen to understand, and respect the time of your team members. Keep your meetings short, concrete, and frequent. Remember to include everyone, complement each other, don't compete for attention. Because… as George Bernard Shaw states "The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place."

  • Episode 058- Katie Schuler creates films on pangolins - the most trafficked mammal in the world

    Katie Schuler is a new friend I met at Jackson Wild and the International League of Conservation Photographers Wild Speak West in September 2019. I was completely surprised and inspired by Katie's commitment to work on the world's most trafficked mammal. She is an advocate for the planet's most at-risk species, Katie operates at the nexus between science, empathy, and storytelling. More than a decade of filmmaking across six continents has afforded Katie expertise in the field and in the editing room. Using her signature storytelling flair, Katie's films explore how we live alongside nature, garnering accolades, accruing millions of views, and inspiring meaningful conservation victories. Her production company, Coral & Oak Studios, has partnered with many of the most recognizable names in wildlife filmmaking, including National Geographic, Smithsonian, BBC, HBO, and PBS. Katie's film, Pangolin, is the winner of six best short awards including Jackson Wild's 2017 Best Short category. Since its premiere, Pangolin has been translated into four languages, reaching over 75 million people while serving as an important tool for conservation. Two of her latest films, Where Life Begins, and Nigerians Fight to Protect the World's Most Trafficked Mammal, have won awards at festivals in 2019. Katie is a National Geographic Explorer, a graduate of the Corcoran College of Art and Design, a Henry Luce Fellow, and a member of the International League of a Conservation Photographer's Emerging League. She currently operates out of Washington, D.C. alongside her husband, Nick, and dog, Bullseye. And now little Schuler!
