This week, the Wildlife Conservation Society welcomes a new president and CEO, Monica Medina. She arrives from the US State Department, where through this April she served as Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, and was the nation’s first Special Envoy for Biodiversity and Water Resources.

WCS is thrilled to have at its helm a new leader with vast experience and a passion for conservation. Wild Audio’s Nat Moss recently caught up with her as she steps into her new role.
