Welcome to the RAD Story Lodge. In this episode, we introduce the RAD Leadership Circle who share what brought them to this work and why this moment matters. Listen along to hear from the brilliant people paddling the RAD Network canoe.

Episode 1, “What is RAD? - Part 1”, features David Flood (Wahkohtowin Development), Sam Whiteye (Carolinian Canada) and Steven Nitah (Nature for Justice). Stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll hear from Gwen Bridge (Gwen Bridge Consulting), Terry Dorward (IISAAK OLAM Foundation), and Dani Warren (Great Bear Carbon). 

The RAD Story Lodge is hosted by RAD (Restore, Assert and Defend) Network, a network that seeks to centre Indigenous rights and leadership within conservation finance and nature-based solutions. 

This episode was produced by Karim Rizkallah and Randi Russell, with music by Digging Roots. The RAD Story Lodge is made possible with funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada.
