All Things Wild

The Orca Whisperer (with Pierre Robert de Latour)


Listen Later

Today’s guest is Pierre Robert de Latour. He is the founder and president of the Under Water Soft Encounter Alliance (USEA), the president of Orques Sans Frontières, and author of the best seller "Frère des orques" (Glénat Edition). Pierre Robert De Latour is internationally known as "The Orca Whisperer" and has more than 6,200 dives with orcas! USEA also participates in scientific research through partnerships with marine biologists and other scientists. This work has been published in prominent scientific journals such as Nature. We discuss his unique introduction into underwater encounters with Orcas, what he has learned about Orca behavior, and some big questions about what it means to inhabit a planet with another intelligence equal (perhaps superior) to our own. He also shares some incredible stories of his time underwater with the Orcas of Norway. I highly recommend his YouTube channel and links to this, as well as his organization and social media platforms are provided below.
