November 25, 2021 TGL023 Jamie McCallum - Force for Nature
Jamie McCallum Ph.D. brings a unique set of experience to the enormous challenges of environmental protection. Combining his doctorate in Biological Sciences and decade in conservation with his early career in high-end corporate sponsorship; Jamie founded Force For Nature.
Backed by leading conservation groups, global media partners and the world’s biggest brands, Jamie focused on a human based solution to many of the world’s environmental problems - wildlife Rangers. Supporting and guiding them to be more effective can ensure that the resources upon which we all depend can theoretically last for ever.Back in 2008, in a bid to pursue his lifelong passion for environmental protection, Jamie left a thriving career in sports sponsorship (Usain Bolt, IMG, Ferrari F1 and Orange) and media (BBC, Discovery) to study for a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences.
His research with the US National Park Service on the US-Mexico border used cutting edge technology to help improve management of protected areas. He then set up and ran the Technology Programme at the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), including the management of a Citizen Science App and the development of software and hardware for field staff. These projects were facilitated through partnerships with Google, Iridium and Microsoft Research.
Since 2015 he has been the UK/EU Director for Peace Parks Foundation (PPF). As well as fundraising and partnership management, Jamie operates closely with field teams on resource protection, community development and management training tools. He also works with the Southern African Wildlife College, which trains hundreds of conservation staff each year and he advises the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) on protected area effectiveness.

October 14, 2021 TGL022 Bud Carr
Bud Carr is a search and rescue expert in the upper northwest of the United States. Carlton “Bud” Carr Jr. was born in 1978 in California’s San Bernardino Valley. He moved to Colorado as a child and now lives in northwest Washington in a small, rented home on the Skagit River with his wife and three children. He’s a journeyman carpenter, although he’s worked a grab bag of blue-collar jobs, but also has an education in wilderness survival. Carr played and explored in the mountains growing up, and his dad would quiz Bud on what to do if he got stranded on that mountain road. Go to the creek. Follow the creek to the river. Follow the river to civilization. Bud learned how to hunt, to build shelters, to insulate himself with leaves and how to travel in the mountains. A self-described mountain man, Carr is an enthusiastic storyteller, one who uses every inch of his 5-foot-11 frame to elucidate and elaborate, his gestures those of a college theater major, albeit a tattooed and felonious one. He’s prone to long rants, but is also a good listener, happy to suspend a story, although he almost always picks it up later.

Here's What We Discuss:
Field day in Quebec
Weren’t aware two were murdered
5 crime scenes, many different units
Couldn’t talk on the radio, too much chatter
I could hear Wayne screaming
Went to grab two deer rifles, raced to confront
John had his fingers embedded in my dash as I went 100 mph
I was livid he shot you, I wanted to kill him
The troopers had a look about them
Dispatchers were crying on the radio
He went home to change and shave
Laying across the dash, looked like he committed suicide
Both shoot at the same time; Drega wearing campaign hat
If you engage him, you’ll have to kill him
I know what type of guy I am now
You can train someone, but you don’t know how they’ll react in fight or flight
He was on the bank; changed our plan
98 shots fired
Drega was dead
I decided I needed a cigarette
Both sides of the road were lined with cruisers
I thought I was gonna get fired
His house had bombs in it
Ran to the bathroom and threw up
Some will defend Drega; there will be funerals
Went to visit Wayne in a packed cruiser
Cheers when Wayne came back; brought to tears
Ordered to go to counseling
New equipment after the event
