Join us for this interview with Manoj Gautam, community-based conservation activist, former executive director of the Jane Goodall Institute of Nepal, and 2014 recipient of the Future for Nature prize.

"Rewilding" is not just about bringing back endangered species and habitats, it's about restoring balance to our planet. Pierce Press author Manoj Gautam's innovative community-based approach to conservation has made a real impact in Nepal and beyond. In this discussion, we talk about how and to what extent habitats & environments can be returned to their wild, natural state while taking into consideration the requirements of human communities.

This year, Manoj was named to the elite Explorers Club 50. Each year, The Explorers Club 50 recognizes fifty extraordinary individuals changing the world. Naming these global exploration leaders to the EC50 shines a bright light on their extraordinary work, amplifies their voices, and redefines that field of exploration as we know it.
